Guest guest Posted August 28, 2007 Report Share Posted August 28, 2007 Does anyone here use Arthrotec? It's an anti-inflammatory which contains Cytotec which is supposed to help protect the stomach lining. I am considering ask my dr about it because I've been having to take Advil lately for my bladder and I have a history of gastritis in my stomach along with other tummy issues. I do not want to rip my stomach up again. I haven't heard of that many people taking it though. Advil has never worked for my fibro pain and my dr said it's because fibro is not inflammation. I see many people here say it does help them though? I also run the weird low-grade fevers when I don't feel well. I know I promised to post more but I'm having trouble keeping up with the list. I'm leaving for Europe on Labor Day and we'll be gone 2 weeks. I am nervous about all my health problems and it's taken me over an hour just to get started on organizing all my medications but hopefully things will be okay with me! I am going back through some of the old posts now. Charisse Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted August 28, 2007 Report Share Posted August 28, 2007 Hi Charisse, Several years ago I took Arthotec until it no longer worked for me. Took it for at least 2 years. Now have a rx Cytotec to protect the Lodine I do take. Lodine was recommended by my gastro as one of the NSAIDs that won't upset my stomach too quick. I have to take a NSAID to help with my joint pain. Do have gastritis, also. Debbie > > Does anyone here use Arthrotec?

Guest guest Posted September 3, 2007 Report Share Posted September 3, 2007 I have taken Arthrotec for a while now. It helps me, and I take nexium to prevent stomach upset. Re: Arthrotec? I take Arthrotec for inflammation due to Endometriosis.. I had a bad reaction to advil once upon a time.. > > Does anyone here use Arthrotec?
