This has been the only medication that keeps my arthritis symptoms in check - hips, back, knees, ankles, and toes. I take two a day - by about 3:00 my body starts to ache and creak, and then I take the second. The misoprostol really protects my stomach. Once I took the diclofenac only and it really affected my stomach. When I run out of this medication I'm crippled in about 24 hours.
