Detailed Information

Introduction

Tofascan 5mg Tablet contains tofacitinib, a disease-modifying anti-rheumatic drug (DMARD) that helps reduce joint inflammation and slow disease progression. It belongs to a class of medicines called Janus Kinase Inhibitors, which work by calming an overactive immune system. Tofascan is prescribed to treat rheumatoid arthritis, psoriatic arthritis, ankylosing spondylitis, ulcerative colitis, and juvenile idiopathic arthritis in patients who cannot tolerate or do not respond to other treatments.

This medication can be used alone or combined with other medicines to provide better symptom relief and improve your quality of life. Your doctor will determine the right dose and duration based on your condition, medical history, and how well you respond to treatment. It is important to inform your healthcare provider about any infections, liver problems, tuberculosis history, or hepatitis B infection before starting Tofascan.

Key points

  • Reduces immune system activity to decrease joint pain and swelling
  • Used for rheumatoid arthritis, psoriatic arthritis, ankylosing spondylitis, ulcerative colitis, and juvenile idiopathic arthritis
  • Requires regular monitoring and laboratory tests during treatment

Therapeutic Uses

  • Rheumatoid arthritis (adult patients)
  • Psoriatic arthritis
  • Ankylosing spondylitis (inflammatory spine disease)
  • Moderately to severely active ulcerative colitis
  • Polyarticular juvenile idiopathic arthritis (ages 2 years and older)
  • Juvenile psoriatic arthritis

How it Works

Tofascan 5mg Tablet works by blocking Janus kinase (JAK) enzymes, which are responsible for transmitting signals that cause inflammation and immune system overactivity. By inhibiting these enzymes, the medication reduces the production of inflammatory substances and prevents immune cells from attacking healthy joint tissue. This helps decrease pain, swelling, and stiffness while slowing the progression of rheumatoid arthritis and other inflammatory conditions.
