Hello,
The pain you are feeling due to arthritis. Arthrotec is a combination pill containing diclofenac and misoprostol; while co-codamol contains codeine plus paracetamol. They can be used at the same time together to ease the pain. However, try to get 30 minutes or one-hour gap between their intake.
Propranolol is used to treat increased heartbeats and high blood pressure. It can also stabilize your blood pressure while taking these meds. One of the side effects of Arthrotec is increasing blood pressure. But you are all protected.
However, keep always close contact with your caring doctor. Taking a glucosamine supplement can help. Plus applying glucosamine gel (Dormixgel) locally can also help.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
