Tofacitinib is a type of medicine that helps with inflammation. It’s used for things like rheumatoid arthritis, psoriatic arthritis, and ulcerative colitis. It’s part of a group called JAK inhibitors.
They work by calming down parts of the immune system. You can get Tofacitinib in two doses—5 mg and 10 mg. But the usual amount to take is 5 mg, and you take it two times a day.
The medicine comes in a tablet that’s coated to make it easier to swallow. It comes in a bottle with 60 pills, and it’s meant to be used regularly to help with ongoing inflammatory issues.
