Tofanta 11mg Tablet XR Description

Tofanta 11mg Tablet XR is an advanced prescription medicine formulated to manage autoimmune and inflammatory disorders such as rheumatoid arthritis, psoriatic arthritis, ankylosing spondylitis, and ulcerative colitis. It helps reduce inflammation, pain, and swelling in the joints while slowing the progression of bone and cartilage damage. By controlling immune system overactivity, this tablet improves joint function, mobility, and overall quality of life.

Uses: Tofanta 11mg Tablet XR is indicated for the treatment of rheumatoid arthritis, psoriatic arthritis, ankylosing spondylitis, and ulcerative colitis. It alleviates joint pain, stiffness, and tenderness and helps restore flexibility. In patients with ulcerative colitis, it effectively reduces inflammation in the colon, relieves diarrhea, abdominal pain, and bleeding, and helps prevent symptom recurrence.

Benefits: This extended-release formulation offers long-lasting relief from pain and stiffness throughout the day. It slows disease progression and helps maintain joint integrity in chronic arthritic conditions. In ulcerative colitis, it helps restore intestinal health and reduce flare-ups, promoting long-term remission. Regular use under medical supervision helps enhance mobility, reduce fatigue, and improve daily functioning.

How to Use: Take Tofanta 11mg Tablet XR exactly as prescribed by your doctor. Swallow the tablet whole with water without crushing, breaking, or chewing it. It can be taken with or without food, preferably at a fixed time each day for consistent therapeutic effect. Do not stop treatment suddenly without medical advice.

Mechanism of Action: Tofanta 11mg Tablet XR belongs to a class of medicines called Janus kinase (JAK) inhibitors. It works by blocking specific enzymes (JAK1 and JAK3) that trigger inflammation in the body. By suppressing this immune pathway, the medicine reduces inflammatory responses responsible for joint pain, swelling, and intestinal inflammation.

Side Effects: Most side effects are mild and temporary. Commonly reported effects include headache, upper respiratory tract infection, diarrhea, and throat or nasal inflammation (nasopharyngitis). Serious but rare side effects like blood clots or intestinal perforation require immediate medical attention. If any unusual symptoms occur, consult your doctor promptly.

Safety Advice:

Alcohol: Safe to use; no harmful interactions known.
Pregnancy: Use only if clearly prescribed. Animal studies show risk to the fetus; medical consultation is essential.
Breastfeeding: May pass into breast milk; avoid use unless directed by a physician.
Driving: Generally safe; does not impair alertness.
Kidney/Liver: Dose adjustment may be required in patients with severe renal or hepatic impairment; use under medical supervision.

Precautions: Avoid taking Tofanta 11mg Tablet XR if you have active infections. Inform your doctor if you have a history of tuberculosis, hepatitis B or C, shingles, liver or kidney disease, or blood clot disorders. The medicine can lower your body’s ability to fight infections, so avoid contact with individuals who have contagious illnesses like measles, flu, or chickenpox. Routine blood monitoring may be necessary during therapy.

Missed Dose: If you miss a dose, take it as soon as you remember. If it’s nearly time for your next dose, skip the missed one and continue your regular schedule. Do not double the dose to make up for the missed tablet.
