Active ingredients

The drug ARTROTEC contains a combination of these active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs):

1 Diclofenac UNII QTG126297Q - DICLOFENAC SODIUM
Diclofenac is a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug. The mechanism of action of diclofenac in AK may be related to the inhibition of the cycloxygenase pathway leading to reduced prostaglandin E₂ (PGE₂) synthesis. In addition, immunohistochemistry (IHC) from skin biopsies ac revealed that the clinical effects of diclofenac in AK are primarily due to anti-inflammatory, anti-angiogenic and possibly anti-proliferative effects and apoptosis-inducing mechanisms.

2 Misoprostol UNII 0E43V0BB57 - MISOPROSTOL
Misoprostol is an analogue of naturally occurring prostaglandin E1 which promotes peptic ulcer healing and symptomatic relief. Misoprostol protects the gastroduodenal mucosa by inhibiting basal, stimulated and nocturnal acid secretion and by reducing the volume of gastric secretions, the proteolytic activity of the gastric fluid, and increasing bicarbonate and mucus secretion.
