Brief Answer:
Confirm the name of medicine, atridol or artridol?

Detailed Answer:
Hello Mrs. XXXXXXX

Thanks for posting your query.

ATRIDOL contains ATROPINE, this can increase heart rate and can precipitate atrial fibrillation.

While ARTRIDOL contains INDOMETHACIN, and this may worsen bleeding problems and should not be taken while on blood thinners such as warfarin.

Hence I would suggest not take either of these and I would also like to request you kindly confirm the name of the medicine accurately and also the contents in the tablet.

Please do write back with confirmation.

Awaiting your response.
