So, Ritlecitinib is this thing that keeps the JAK3 and TEC in check. It’s used to treat issues like alopecia areata and autoimmune disorders. It’s mainly about balancing the immune system, and you get it in these 50mg capsules.
You’re supposed to take it just once a day, and each time you’ll take 50mg. You’ll find it in bottles that hold 30 capsules each. Don’t break the capsule open; you can take it with or without food.
And make sure there’s a 24-hour gap between it and any other immune-suppressing drugs. Swallow the capsule whole without breaking it or chewing it up, and follow it with a big glass of water. They haven’t really checked out how the once-a-day thing works compared to twice-a-day doses, especially for people with alopecia areata.
Common side effects are stuff like injection site reactions, feeling queasy, diarrhea, liver enzymes going up, headaches, and infections up top in your respiratory system, along with high blood pressure.
