Detailed Information

Introduction

Xeljanz 5mg Tablet contains tofacitinib, a powerful immunomodulator medication used to treat inflammatory joint and bowel conditions. It works by modifying the body's immune response to reduce inflammation and pain. Xeljanz is prescribed when other treatments haven't worked or cannot be used, making it an important option for patients with moderate to severe inflammatory conditions.

This medication is used to treat several chronic inflammatory conditions including rheumatoid arthritis, psoriatic arthritis, ankylosing spondylitis, ulcerative colitis, and juvenile idiopathic arthritis. By controlling the immune system's overactive response, Xeljanz helps reduce joint swelling, pain, and improves function. Before starting treatment, inform your doctor about any infections, tuberculosis history, or hepatitis B, as this medication requires careful monitoring.

Key points

  • Contains tofacitinib, a Janus Kinase inhibitor that reduces immune system overactivity
  • Used for rheumatoid arthritis, psoriatic arthritis, ankylosing spondylitis, ulcerative colitis, and juvenile idiopathic arthritis
  • Requires regular monitoring and should not be used if you have active infections or untreated tuberculosis

Therapeutic Uses

  • Rheumatoid arthritis (joint pain and swelling caused by immune system attack)
  • Psoriatic arthritis (joint pain with skin scaling)
  • Ankylosing spondylitis (spinal inflammation)
  • Ulcerative colitis (bowel inflammation)
  • Polyarticular juvenile idiopathic arthritis (long-term joint disease in children 2 years and older)
  • Juvenile psoriatic arthritis

How it Works

Xeljanz works by inhibiting Janus kinase enzymes, which are involved in immune cell signaling. By blocking these enzymes, the medication reduces the production of inflammatory substances and slows the activity of immune cells that attack the body's own tissues. This helps decrease inflammation, reduce pain and swelling in joints, and improves overall function in inflammatory conditions.
