How much does a box of Tofacitinib cost?

Tofacitinib (Tofacitinib) belongs to a group of drugs called Janus kinase inhibitors and is used to treat rheumatoid arthritis, psoriatic arthritis, and ulcerative colitis. Tofacitinib works by blocking Janus kinase, thereby reducing inflammation and symptoms associated with rheumatoid and psoriatic arthritis. Tofacitinib is indicated for patients with moderate to severe rheumatoid arthritis and psoriatic arthritis who are intolerant or inadequately responsive to methotrexate or DMARDs (disease-modifying antirheumatic drugs).

Several studies have shown that tofacitinib is effective in treating patients with rheumatoid arthritis, psoriatic arthritis, ulcerative colitis, certain subtypes of juvenile idiopathic arthritis, and ankylosing spondylitis who have previously tried other treatments. The fact that tofacitinib is administered orally may be an advantage over existing subcutaneous drugs, whose most important side effect is infection.
