So, Filgotinib is this thing that blocks a specific protein called JAK1. It’s mainly used to help with really bad arthritis. It kind of adjusts how your immune system works, which helps to cut down on the symptoms.
There are two doses, a smaller one of 100 mg and a bigger one of 200 mg, both in these coated tablets. The doc usually suggests you take the 200 mg pill every day. Each bottle holds 30 tablets.
Being a JAK1 inhibitor, it goes after certain parts of your immune system to try and keep inflammation and joint damage down. People on filgotinib might get some tummy troubles, infections, or see changes in their blood work, so they’ve got to be watched closely.
