Tofajak Tablet 60

Tofajak Tablet is used for the following:

• Managing moderate to severe rheumatoid arthritis: This is a chronic condition where your body's immune system wrongly attacks your own joints, causing pain and swelling.

• Helping with active psoriatic arthritis: This condition affects some people who have psoriasis, a skin disease. It leads to joint pain and inflammation.

• Controlling moderate to severe ulcerative colitis: This is an inflammatory bowel disorder that causes ulcers and inflammation in your digestive tract.

Here are some simple steps on how to take Tofajak Tablet:

• Follow the dosage and timing instructions provided by your doctor precisely.

• Do not change or exceed the prescribed dose without consulting your doctor.

• Consult your doctor before discontinuing the medication; do not stop taking it without their guidance.

• Adhere to the dietary recommendations given by your doctor.

Tofajak Tablet is taken orally.

Tofajak Tablet contains tofacitinib (5 mg), which works on the body as follows:

• Inhibition of Janus kinase enzymes: Tofacitinib acts by blocking a group of enzymes called Janus kinase, present in your body. These enzymes play a crucial role in the inflammation process associated with conditions such as rheumatoid arthritis, psoriatic arthritis, and ulcerative colitis.

• Reduction of inflammation: By blocking the action of JAK enzymes, tofacitinib effectively reduces inflammation signs like pain and swelling. This aids in managing joint damage often seen in these inflammatory conditions.

• Keep Tofajak Tablet stored at room temperature, ideally below 30°C.

• Protect it from light and moisture by storing it in its original bottle.

• Ensure the medicine is safely out of reach of children and pets.

• Always check the expiry date on the bottle before taking the medication.

• If you're managing rheumatoid or psoriatic arthritis with Tofajak Tablet, a balanced diet rich in omega-3 fatty acids (found in fish and flaxseeds) can help reduce inflammation.

• For those using this medicine to manage ulcerative colitis, it's helpful to maintain a low-fibre diet during flare-ups to minimise digestive discomfort.
