Description
Aerotec 50mg/0.2mg Tablet is a combination medication containing Diclofenac Sodium and Misoprostol. Diclofenac is a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) commonly used for managing pain and inflammation in conditions like rheumatoid arthritis and osteoarthritis. Misoprostol is included to reduce the risk of stomach ulcers, a common side effect of NSAIDs. Together, these active ingredients help provide effective pain relief while protecting the gastrointestinal system. Aerotec is an ideal choice for patients requiring long-term NSAID therapy, particularly those at risk of developing stomach ulcers.
Functions
Aerotec works by providing dual benefits: Diclofenac Sodium targets inflammation, reducing pain, swelling, and stiffness in conditions like arthritis. Misoprostol, on the other hand, protects the stomach lining from ulcer formation, which is a common side effect of prolonged NSAID use. This combination ensures that patients who need continuous pain relief from conditions like rheumatoid arthritis and osteoarthritis are also protected from gastrointestinal discomfort and ulceration.
Precautions
Before using Aerotec, inform your healthcare provider if you have a history of stomach ulcers, gastrointestinal bleeding, liver or kidney problems, or any heart-related conditions. Caution is particularly necessary for individuals with a history of gastric lesions or those with renal, hepatic, or cardiac insufficiency. Pregnant women and breastfeeding mothers should avoid using this medication unless explicitly instructed by a doctor. Regular monitoring of liver function and blood tests is recommended for patients undergoing long-term therapy with Aerotec.
Side Effects
Common side effects of Aerotec may include stomach upset, headache, dizziness, and skin rashes. Women may experience menorrhagia (heavy or painful periods) or intermenstrual bleeding. Other side effects may include edema (swelling) and allergic reactions. While these side effects are typically mild and temporary, serious reactions such as gastrointestinal bleeding, liver dysfunction, or heart issues require immediate medical attention. Always consult your healthcare provider if you notice any unusual or persistent symptoms.
Cautions
Aerotec should be used with caution in individuals who are elderly or those requiring long-term treatment. These patients should undergo regular liver function tests and blood checks to monitor for any potential adverse effects. Additionally, women who are pregnant or planning pregnancy should not use this medication. Individuals with a known allergy to aspirin, other NSAIDs, or anti-inflammatory drugs should avoid using Aerotec. Patients with active peptic ulcers or certain cardiovascular conditions should also refrain from using this medication. Always follow the prescribed dosage and consult your doctor for personalized advice.
