Uses of Tofadoz Gel
Treatment of Atopic dermatitis
Benefits of Tofadoz Gel
- In Pain and swelling
- Tofadoz reduces pain and swelling at the site of injury or inflammation, so the area is more comfortable and easier to move.
- In Inflammatory arthritis
- Tofadoz calms the inflammation driving joint pain and stiffness in arthritis, improving movement and protecting the joint from further damage.
- In Gout
- Tofadoz relieves the intense pain and swelling of a gout attack, or lowers uric acid to prevent attacks, depending on the type you have been prescribed.
- In Recovery after injury or surgery
- Tofadoz controls pain and swelling while tissues heal, which lets you move earlier and recover more comfortably.
How Tofadoz Gel works
Tofadoz Gel suppresses the overactive immune system by inhibiting certain enzymes called Janus kinases (JAKs). Thus, Tofadoz Gel blocks the production of pro-inflammatory substances (including cytokines) that contribute to the development of inflammation and other symptoms of atopic dermatitis. When used for androgenetic alopecia, Tofadoz Gel prevents the destruction of hair follicles by the overactive immune system. Applying Tofadoz Gel helps in hair regrowth in areas affected by androgenetic alopecia.
How to take Tofadoz Gel
This medicine is for external use only. Use it in the dose and duration as advised by your doctor. Check the label for directions before use. Clean and dry the affected area and apply the gel. Wash your hands after applying, unless hands are the affected area.
Take it exactly as your doctor prescribed. Do not change the dose or stop early on your own.
