Arthrofen Tablet 75 mg + 200 mcg is a combination medication containing Diclofenac and Misoprostol. This formulation is designed to provide effective relief from pain and inflammation while helping protect the stomach lining from potential damage caused by long-term use of nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs).

Diclofenac Sodium is a widely used NSAID that helps reduce inflammation, pain, and swelling associated with various joint and musculoskeletal conditions. However, prolonged use of NSAIDs may increase the risk of stomach irritation or ulcers. Misoprostol is included in this combination to help prevent such gastrointestinal complications by protecting the stomach lining.

Arthrofen Tablet is commonly prescribed for patients who require long-term anti-inflammatory treatment for conditions such as Osteoarthritis, Rheumatoid Arthritis, and Ankylosing Spondylitis.

Composition

Each tablet contains:

• Diclofenac Sodium 75 mg

• Misoprostol 200 mcg

The tablet is intended for oral administration and should be used only under the supervision of a qualified healthcare professional.

Mechanism of Action

Arthrofen Tablet works through the combined action of its two active ingredients.

Diclofenac Sodium works by inhibiting the enzyme cyclooxygenase (COX), which is responsible for the production of prostaglandins. Prostaglandins are substances in the body that cause inflammation, pain, and swelling. By reducing prostaglandin production, Diclofenac helps relieve joint pain and inflammation.

Misoprostol, on the other hand, is a synthetic prostaglandin analogue. It helps protect the stomach lining by increasing the production of protective mucus and bicarbonate while reducing gastric acid secretion. This protective effect reduces the risk of gastric ulcers and stomach irritation often associated with NSAID therapy.

The combination allows patients to benefit from effective pain relief while minimizing gastrointestinal side effects.

Indications

Arthrofen Tablet is indicated for the treatment of inflammatory joint disorders, including:

• Osteoarthritis
