So, Filgotinib is a medicine used to treat moderate to severe rheumatoid arthritis. It helps manage how the immune system responds. You can get it as a tablet, in 100 mg and 200 mg sizes.
They usually suggest taking 200 mg of it every day. These tablets come in bottles with 30 units in each. Filgotinib works by focusing on the JAK 1 enzyme.
This enzyme is super important in the immune response and in causing inflammation. It stops JAK1, which helps cut down on the symptoms of rheumatoid arthritis, like pain, swelling, and feeling stiff in the morning. It can also be used to treat conditions like ulcerative colitis and Crohn’s disease.
It might cause some side effects, like headaches, stuffy nose, and maybe reactivate herpes.
