How it works
It may help prevent you getting ulcers in your stomach or the part it empties into, called the duodenum. These ulcers could be caused by taking non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) like diclofenac and naproxen. The way NSAIDs work means they reduce the amount of prostaglandins in your stomach and intestine. This can cause indigestion and lead to ulcers forming. The Misoprostol tablets will replace these prostaglandins and help to protect your stomach and intestine, so you can continue getting benefit from your NSAID. It also reduces acid and increases bicarbonate in your stomach secretions.
