TOFADOZ 5 (Tofacitinib (5mg))

Tofadoz Tablet is indicated for the management of moderate to severe cases of rheumatoid arthritis, psoriatic arthritis, ankylosing spondylitis, and ulcerative colitis. This medication works by alleviating pain, tenderness, and inflammation in the joints, thereby helping to reduce swelling. Additionally, it plays a role in slowing down the damage to bones and joints associated with these conditions. Tofadoz may be prescribed alone or in conjunction with other medications. It can be taken with or without food; however, it is advisable to take it consistently at the same time each day. The prescribed dosage will vary based on the specific medical condition being treated and any other medications the patient may be using. It is crucial to adhere to your physician’s instructions regarding the duration of treatment, and one should not discontinue use without medical guidance, as this could lead to a worsening of the condition. Routine blood tests might be necessary prior to initiating treatment, and Tofadoz should not be started if there is an existing infection. It is important to inform your healthcare provider if you have a history of tuberculosis, shingles, kidney or liver issues, hepatitis B or C, or blood clotting disorders. This medication may increase susceptibility to infections or exacerbate pre-existing infections, hence it is best to avoid contact with individuals carrying contagious illnesses. Tofadoz is contraindicated for individuals under the age of 18 and should not be taken during pregnancy or while breastfeeding unless deemed necessary by a healthcare provider.
