How Tofe 10mg Tablet Works

Tofe 10mg Tablet is a Janus kinase (JAK) inhibitor. It works by blocking the action of Janus kinase enzymes, which are involved in the inflammatory processes of rheumatic diseases and ulcerative colitis. By inhibiting these enzymes, Tofe reduces the immune system’s overactivity and helps control inflammation, which in turn decreases pain and swelling and prevents further joint and bone damage.

Side Effects

Common side effects of Tofe 10mg Tablet include:

• Upper respiratory tract infections (e.g., cold, cough)
• Headache
• Diarrhea
• Nasopharyngitis (inflammation of the throat and nasal passages)

Most side effects are mild and go away as your body adjusts to the medicine. However, if you experience any severe reactions such as unusual bleeding, bruising, or symptoms of an infection (fever, chills, fatigue), seek medical attention immediately.
