Detailed Information

Introduction

Tofatas 5mg Tablet contains tofacitinib, a disease-modifying anti-rheumatic drug (DMARD) that works by modulating your immune system. It belongs to a class of medications called Janus Kinase (JAK) inhibitors, which help reduce inflammation and slow disease progression. Tofatas is used to treat various inflammatory conditions including rheumatoid arthritis, psoriatic arthritis, ankylosing spondylitis, and ulcerative colitis. It can be taken alone or combined with other medications, especially for patients who haven't responded well to or cannot tolerate other treatments.

This medication is also effective for treating juvenile idiopathic arthritis in children aged 2 years and older. By decreasing immune system activity, Tofatas helps reduce pain, swelling, and loss of function associated with these conditions. Before starting treatment, inform your doctor about any existing health conditions, previous infections (particularly tuberculosis), liver or kidney problems, and your smoking history.

Key points

  • JAK inhibitor that reduces immune system activity to ease inflammation
  • Treats rheumatoid arthritis, psoriatic arthritis, ankylosing spondylitis, and ulcerative colitis
  • Available for both adults and children (age 2+) with polyarticular juvenile idiopathic arthritis
  • Works best when combined with other therapies in appropriate cases

Therapeutic Uses

  • Rheumatoid arthritis in adults who cannot take or don't respond to other medications
  • Psoriatic arthritis (joint pain, swelling, and skin symptoms)
  • Ankylosing spondylitis (chronic spine inflammation)
  • Moderately to severely active ulcerative colitis
  • Polyarticular juvenile idiopathic arthritis in patients 2 years and older
  • Juvenile psoriatic arthritis

How it Works

Tofatas 5mg Tablet is a Janus Kinase (JAK) inhibitor that works by blocking specific enzymes involved in immune signaling.
