Xeljanz (generic name: tofacitinib) is a Janus Kinase inhibitor (JAKi) used to treat immune-mediated diseases (IMDs) such as rheumatoid arthritis, psoriatic arthritis, ulcerative colitis or ankylosing spondylitis in adults.Â
It can also be prescribed off-label to treat psoriasis and hair loss caused by alopecia areata as well as conditions that have not responded well to alternative treatment, including rheumatic diseases like dermatomyositis, polymyositis, systemic sclerosis, systemic lupus erythematosus.
When treating various forms of arthritis, it aims to decrease the pain, tenderness, and swelling in affected joints. For ulcerative colitis, it reduces symptoms such as stomach pain, diarrhea, and rectal bleeding.
The usual procedure is to take the medicine orally with or without food. Follow the instructions from your prescribing healthcare provider and the guidelines printed on the patient instruction leaflet included in the package.Â
Xeljanz may cause side effects in some users, such as headaches or diarrhea. They should be transient, but if either of these effects lasts or worsens, a doctor or pharmacist should be notified immediately.
The guidelines include specific warnings about an increased risk of infections, particularly for people aged 65 or older who have diabetes, chronic lung disease, or are taking corticosteroids. Symptoms that need immediate attention include painful skin rash or blisters, which may be a sign of herpes zoster, or notice any new growth or changes in existing moles or spots. If you have been in close contact with a person with tuberculosis, report this to a healthcare provider.
Please read the patient information leaflet that comes with the medication. This contains detailed information about the possible serious side effects of treatment with JAKi medications.
Xeljanz is approved for treating patients who have not responded adequately to prior treatment using tumor necrosis factor (TNF) blockers that did not work well or could not be tolerated.Â
