This drug, tofacitinib, is a JAK inhibitor. It’s used to treat rheumatoid arthritis, psoriatic arthritis, and ulcerative colitis. It helps control the immune system.
You should take it at 5 mg, twice a day. You’ve got two choices: 5 mg or 10 mg tablets, but 5 mg is what you need. The tablets are covered so they’re easier to swallow.
Each bottle has 60 tablets in it. Tofacitinib works by targeting these JAK enzymes. They’re part of what causes inflammation.
Stopping these enzymes helps lower inflammation and joint damage from those conditions. You need to take it like your doctor tells you to, and stick to the recommended dose so it works well and doesn’t cause any trouble.
