Detailed Information

Introduction

Tofajak Ointment 15gm contains tofacitinib, a disease-modifying anti-rheumatic drug (DMARD) that helps reduce inflammation and joint damage in various arthritis conditions. This topical ointment is specifically designed for patients who need localized treatment of inflammatory skin and joint conditions. Tofajak works by modulating the immune system's response, helping to relieve pain, swelling, and reduce disease progression.

Tofajak Ointment 15gm is prescribed for rheumatoid arthritis, psoriatic arthritis, ankylosing spondylitis, ulcerative colitis, and polyarticular juvenile idiopathic arthritis in children aged 2 years and older. It can be used alone or combined with other medications when standard treatments are ineffective or not tolerated. Always use this medicine exactly as directed by your doctor, and inform your healthcare provider about any existing infections, tuberculosis, or liver conditions before starting treatment.

Key points

  • Contains tofacitinib, a Janus Kinase inhibitor that reduces immune system inflammation
  • Used for rheumatoid arthritis, psoriatic arthritis, and other inflammatory joint conditions
  • For topical use only—apply directly to affected skin areas
  • Suitable for adults and children 2 years and older with polyarticular juvenile idiopathic arthritis
  • Requires careful monitoring for infections and regular health check-ups

Therapeutic Uses

  • Rheumatoid arthritis
  • Psoriatic arthritis
  • Ankylosing spondylitis
  • Ulcerative colitis
  • Polyarticular juvenile idiopathic arthritis
  • Juvenile psoriatic arthritis

How it Works

Tofajak Ointment 15gm belongs to a class of medications called Janus Kinase (JAK) inhibitors. It works by blocking specific enzymes (Janus kinases) involved in immune cell signaling. By inhibiting these enzymes, the medication reduces the production of inflammatory substances that cause joint pain, swelling, and tissue damage. This helps slow disease progression and improves symptoms in patients with rheumatoid arthritis, psoriatic arthritis, and other inflammatory conditions. The ointment's topical formulation allows for localized application to affected areas, reducing systemic effects while targeting inflammation directly.

How to Take

Tofajak Ointment 15gm is for topical (skin) use only. Always apply the ointment exactly as prescribed by your doctor. Before application, ensure your skin is completely dry. Apply a thin layer directly to the affected areas of your skin.
