About Tofatop XR Tablet 10’s

Tofatop XR Tablet 10’s is prescribed for the management of rheumatoid arthritis, psoriatic arthritis, and ulcerative colitis. These are autoimmune and inflammatory conditions that cause joint pain, stiffness, swelling, or bowel-related problems. The tablet contains Tofacitinib, a Janus kinase (JAK) inhibitor. By blocking the JAK enzyme, it helps reduce abnormal immune activity, lowers inflammation, and improves overall symptoms related to arthritis and colitis.

Uses

Control of Psoriatic Arthritis (improves joint flexibility and decreases inflammation). Treatment of Ulcerative Colitis (manages abdominal pain, bleeding, diarrhea, and supports remission).
