Arthrotec?

[Guest guest]

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

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.

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..

How am I supposed to recover when I don't even understand my disease?
