Tofe Tablet

Description

About the Product:
Tofe Tablet is a medication used to treat moderate to severe forms of rheumatoid arthritis, psoriatic arthritis, ankylosing spondylitis, and ulcerative colitis. It helps reduce the pain, tenderness, and swelling in the joints by decreasing inflammation. Additionally, it works to slow the progression of bone and joint damage, improving overall mobility and quality of life for those suffering from these chronic conditions.

Tofe Tablet may be prescribed alone or in combination with other medications, depending on your condition. It is important to follow your doctor’s instructions carefully for optimal results. The tablets can be taken with or without food, but it is recommended to take them at the same time each day.

Salt Composition/Key Ingredients:

• Tofacitinib (5mg)

How to Use:
Take Tofe Tablet exactly as prescribed by your doctor. The dosage will vary based on your condition and whether you are taking any other medications. Swallow the tablet whole without chewing, crushing, or breaking it. Tofe can be taken with or without food, but it is beneficial to take it consistently at the same time each day.

Do not stop taking the medicine unless advised by your doctor, as abrupt discontinuation may cause your condition to worsen. Your doctor may monitor your progress and adjust the dose or treatment plan as needed.

Restrictions:
Before taking Tofe Tablet, inform your doctor if you have:

• Any current or past infections, especially tuberculosis or shingles.
• Liver or kidney disease.
• A history of blood clots or conditions such as hepatitis B or C.
• Any autoimmune conditions or immune system problems.
  Tofe may make you more susceptible to infections or worsen existing infections, so it is essential to avoid contact with people who may have contagious illnesses such as chickenpox, measles, or the flu.

This medication is not recommended for children under 18 years of age, nor should it be used during pregnancy or breastfeeding unless your doctor believes the benefits outweigh the risks. Your doctor will likely perform regular tests to monitor your health while on this treatment.

Side Effects:
Common side effects of Tofe Tablet include:

• Upper respiratory tract infections
• Headache
• Diarrhea
• Nasopharyngitis (inflammation of the nasal passages and throat)

These side effects are generally mild and may go away as your body adjusts to the medication. However, if they persist or cause discomfort, consult your doctor.

Serious side effects, though rare, can include:

• Blood clots
• Tears in the stomach or intestine wall
  If you experience any of these, seek medical attention immediately.

How It Works:
Tofe Tablet contains Tofacitinib, a Janus kinase (JAK) inhibitor. It works by blocking the action of Janus kinase enzymes, which play a key role in the immune system’s inflammatory response. By inhibiting these enzymes, Tofe helps reduce the inflammation associated with rheumatoid arthritis, psoriatic arthritis, ankylosing spondylitis, and ulcerative colitis, leading to less pain, swelling, and joint damage.
