Tofacitinib is an oral JAK inhibitor, used to treat stuff like rheumatoid arthritis, psoriatic arthritis, and ulcerative colitis. It works by focusing on and stopping those JAK kinases, which are big players in inflammation. You got two sizes of the tablet—5 mg and 10 mg.
The recommended adult dose for RA is 5 mg twice daily, while the dose for PsA varies depending on the presence of concomitant methotrexate therapy. If you’re not on methotrexate for PsA, you go for 5 mg a day. Each bottle’s got 60 pills, which makes it pretty handy for taking your dose.
It’s key to take the med just like your doc tells you, so you can really tackle your illness.
