Detailed Information

Introduction

Tofajak-In 5mg Tablet contains tofacitinib, a disease-modifying anti-rheumatic drug (DMARD) that works by reducing immune system activity. It is prescribed to treat rheumatoid arthritis, a condition where the body's immune system attacks joint tissue, causing pain, swelling, and reduced movement. This medication can be used alone or combined with other treatments for patients who cannot tolerate or do not respond adequately to conventional therapies.

Beyond rheumatoid arthritis, Tofajak-In is also indicated for psoriatic arthritis (joint pain with skin scaling), ankylosing spondylitis (spinal inflammation), ulcerative colitis (bowel inflammation), and polyarticular juvenile idiopathic arthritis in children aged 2 years and older. By targeting specific enzymes involved in immune signaling, tofacitinib helps reduce inflammation and slows disease progression. Before starting treatment, inform your doctor if you have serious infections, active tuberculosis, hepatitis B, or significant liver problems, as these conditions require careful monitoring or may affect treatment suitability.

Key points

  • Tofacitinib is a JAK inhibitor that reduces immune system overactivity
  • Used for rheumatoid arthritis, psoriatic arthritis, ankylosing spondylitis, ulcerative colitis, and juvenile idiopathic arthritis
  • Can be taken alone or with other anti-rheumatic medications

Therapeutic Uses

  • Rheumatoid arthritis in adults
  • Psoriatic arthritis
  • Ankylosing spondylitis
  • Moderately to severely active ulcerative colitis
  • Polyarticular juvenile idiopathic arthritis (ages 2+)
  • Juvenile psoriatic arthritis

How it Works

Tofajak-In contains tofacitinib, a Janus kinase (JAK) inhibitor. JAK enzymes are proteins that relay signals for immune cell growth and inflammation. By blocking these enzymes, tofacitinib reduces the production of inflammatory molecules that damage joints and tissues. This helps decrease pain, swelling, and disease progression while slowing joint damage in rheumatoid arthritis and other inflammatory conditions.

Tip: Inform your doctor immediately if you are pregnant, suspect pregnancy, or plan to become pregnant. Use effective birth control methods during treatment and for at least 4 weeks after your last dose.
