Uses of Tofadoz Ointment
Treatment of Atopic dermatitis
Benefits of Tofadoz Ointment
- 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 Ointment 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.
