[|Human|] My arthritis doctor prescribed that I take two arthrotec a day for arthritis. My family physician is not keen on this and pharmacist says it is hard on organs. I am perplexed. I take a 1 a day vitamin and one a week an osteo pill. What do you suggest
[|AI|]  Hello, Arthrotec has two ingredients diclofenac and bisoprolol. The bisoprolol is to protect the stomach from ulcers. The diclofenac is an anti-inflammatory medication like Advil and can be hard on the kidneys. It really depends upon the amount of pain that you are in. If you are in enough pain to require an anti-inflammatory every day, this is not a bad choice since it will not cause an ulcer. If you are not in too much pain then I would avoid it. Regards
