Movatec is a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug that reduces the production of substances that promote the inflammatory process and, therefore, helps to relieve symptoms of diseases such as rheumatoid arthritis or osteoarthritis, which are characterized by inflammation of the joints.
This remedy can be purchased at the pharmacy with a prescription, in the form of pills, with an average price of 50 reais.
How to take
The dose of Movatec varies according to the problem to be treated:
- Rheumatoid arthritis: 15 mg per day; Osteoarthritis: 7.5 mg per day.
Depending on the response to treatment, the dose can be increased or reduced by the doctor, so it is very important to have regular consultations to adapt the amount of medicine.
The tablets should be taken with water immediately after meals.
Possible side effects
Continued use of this medication can cause some side effects such as headache, abdominal pain, poor digestion, diarrhea, nausea, vomiting, anemia, dizziness, vertigo, stomach pain and constipation.
In addition, Movatec can also cause drowsiness, so some people may feel more sleep after taking this medicine.

Movatec should not be used in people with allergies to any of the components of the formula or with gastric ulcers, inflammatory bowel disease, gastrointestinal bleeding or problems with the liver and heart. It should also not be used by those who are hypersensitive to lactose.
