A patient has used enteric aspirin for several years as treatment for osteoarthritis. However, the symptoms are now worse and she is given a prescription for a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug and misoprostol (Cytotec). The patient asks the nurse, “Why am I now taking two pills for arthritis?” What is the nurse’s best response?


▸ “Cytotec will also reduce the symptoms of your arthritis.”

▸ “Cytotec helps the action of the NSAID so that it will work better.”

▸ “Cytotec reduces the mucous secretions in the stomach, which reduces gastric irritation.”

▸ “Cytotec may help to prevent gastric ulcers that may occur in patients taking NSAIDs.”
