Aztofa Xr Tablet 10 contains Tofacitinib (11 mg), which works on your body in the following ways:

• Janus Kinase Inhibition: Tofacitinib works by inhibiting the action of an enzyme known as Janus kinase in your body. This particular enzyme plays a crucial role in the inflammatory response, which gets overactive in rheumatoid arthritis and psoriatic arthritis. By blocking this enzyme, Tofacitinib helps reduce the severity of inflammation.

• Symptom Reduction: Tofacitinib effectively reduces inflammation, helping manage the symptoms associated with the aforementioned conditions. This can improve your quality of life and enable you to carry out daily activities with less discomfort.

• Keep your Aztofa Xr Tablet 10 at room temperature, ideally below 30°C.

• Protect it from direct sunlight and moisture, as these can degrade the medicine.

• Store it out of sight and reach of children to prevent accidental ingestion.

• Check the package's expiry date and ensure you use the medicine before this date.

• For managing rheumatoid arthritis or psoriatic arthritis effectively, opt for a balanced diet rich in fruits, vegetables, lean proteins, and whole grains. These foods can help reduce inflammation in your body.

• If you have ulcerative colitis, try to avoid food triggers that worsen your symptoms. These might include spicy foods, high-fibre foods, or dairy products. Always consult your doctor for personalised dietary advice.
