About Jakura 5mg Tablets

JAKURA 5 mg Tablets contains Tofacitinib 5 mg, a Janus Kinase (JAK) inhibitor used for the treatment of Rheumatoid Arthritis (RA), Psoriatic Arthritis (PsA), Ankylosing Spondylitis (AS), and Moderate to Severe Ulcerative Colitis (UC) in eligible patients. It works by blocking Janus kinase enzymes involved in the inflammatory process, thereby reducing abnormal immune activity and inflammation. This helps relieve pain, stiffness, swelling, and other disease symptoms while slowing disease progression and improving physical function and quality of life. JAKURA may be used alone or in combination with other disease-modifying medicines as prescribed by a specialist.
