Detailed Information

Introduction

Tofatas Ointment 30gm contains tofacitinib, a disease-modifying anti-rheumatic drug (DMARD) that helps reduce joint inflammation and pain. It belongs to a class of medicines called Janus Kinase Inhibitors, which work by calming down an overactive immune system. Tofatas is used to treat rheumatoid arthritis, psoriatic arthritis, ankylosing spondylitis, ulcerative colitis, and polyarticular juvenile idiopathic arthritis in patients who have not responded well to other treatments or cannot take them.

This medication is designed for adults and children (2 years and older) experiencing moderate to severe inflammation and joint damage. It can be used alone or combined with other medicines to provide better symptom relief. Before starting Tofatas Ointment 30gm, inform your doctor about any infections, tuberculosis, hepatitis B, or liver problems, as this medicine requires careful monitoring.

Key points

  • Tofacitinib-based DMARD for rheumatoid arthritis and other inflammatory joint diseases
  • Works by inhibiting Janus kinase enzymes to reduce immune system activity
  • Suitable for adults and children aged 2 years and older with inadequate response to other therapies
  • Requires medical supervision and regular monitoring during treatment

Therapeutic Uses

  • Rheumatoid arthritis (joint pain, swelling, and stiffness)
  • Psoriatic arthritis (joint inflammation with skin scaling)
  • Ankylosing spondylitis (inflammatory disease affecting the spine)
  • Moderately to severely active ulcerative colitis (inflammatory bowel condition)
  • Polyarticular juvenile idiopathic arthritis (long-term joint inflammation in children)
  • Juvenile psoriatic arthritis (arthritis with psoriasis in children)

How it Works

Tofatas Ointment 30gm contains tofacitinib, a Janus Kinase Inhibitor that works by blocking specific enzymes called Janus kinases. These enzymes are involved in sending signals that trigger immune system inflammation. By inhibiting these enzymes, tofacitinib reduces the production of inflammatory chemicals in your body, decreases joint swelling and pain, and slows the progression of joint damage. This leads to improved mobility and quality of life for patients with chronic inflammatory conditions.
