Tofacitinib works by inhibiting specific enzymes (Janus kinases) that play a role in the inflammatory processes of the immune system. By reducing inflammation and immune system activity, it helps alleviate symptoms such as joint pain, swelling, and stiffness, improving overall quality of life for individuals with these chronic conditions.

Common side effects include headache, diarrhea, nasal congestion, and increased blood pressure. Some individuals may experience upper respiratory tract infections or elevated liver enzymes. Serious side effects, though rare, can include increased risk of serious infections, blood clots, and certain cancers. It’s important to monitor for symptoms such as persistent fever, unusual bruising, or unexplained fatigue. Always follow your doctor’s instructions and report any severe or unusual symptoms promptly. Regular blood tests may be required to monitor your response to the medication and to check for potential side effects.
Indication:-
Indicated for adults with moderate to severe rheumatoid arthritis, psoriatic arthritis, and ulcerative colitis, Tofacitinib 11mg Sustained Release Tablets are typically prescribed when other treatments have not been effective. It is used to reduce symptoms, improve physical function, and slow the progression of joint damage in arthritis, as well as to induce and maintain remission in ulcerative colitis. This medication is taken once daily due to its sustained-release formulation, providing consistent therapeutic effects throughout the day.
