Detailed Information

Introduction

Tofastar Tablet contains tofacitinib, a disease-modifying anti-rheumatic drug (DMARD) that works by regulating your immune system. It belongs to a class of medicines called Janus Kinase Inhibitors, which help reduce inflammation and pain in conditions affecting your joints and digestive system. Tofastar Tablet is prescribed when other treatments haven't worked or cannot be used.

This medicine is used to treat several inflammatory conditions in adults and children, including rheumatoid arthritis, psoriatic arthritis, ankylosing spondylitis, and ulcerative colitis. It may also be prescribed for polyarticular juvenile idiopathic arthritis in children aged 2 years and older. By reducing immune system activity, Tofastar helps slow disease progression and improve your quality of life.

Before starting Tofastar Tablet, inform your doctor about any serious infections, tuberculosis, hepatitis B, or liver problems, as these conditions require special monitoring or may prevent you from taking this medicine.

Key points

  • Janus Kinase Inhibitor that reduces immune system activity
  • Used for rheumatoid arthritis, psoriatic arthritis, ankylosing spondylitis, and ulcerative colitis
  • Can be used alone or combined with other medications
  • Suitable for adults and children with polyarticular juvenile idiopathic arthritis (age 2+)

Therapeutic Uses

  • Rheumatoid arthritis (joint pain and swelling)
  • Psoriatic arthritis (joint inflammation with skin scaling)
  • Ankylosing spondylitis (inflammatory spine disease)
  • Ulcerative colitis (moderate to severe inflammation of the large intestine)
  • Polyarticular juvenile idiopathic arthritis (in children aged 2 years and older)
  • Juvenile psoriatic arthritis

How it Works

Tofastar Tablet works by inhibiting Janus kinase enzymes, which are proteins involved in immune system signaling. By blocking these enzymes, the medicine reduces the production of inflammatory chemicals (cytokines) that cause joint pain, swelling, and tissue damage. This helps slow down disease progression and provides relief from symptoms of rheumatoid arthritis, psoriatic arthritis, and other inflammatory conditions.
