Tofadoz Ointment

Tofadoz Ointment contains Tofacitinib (20mg) and is used for atopic dermatitis. Prescription required.

Treatment of Atopic dermatitis

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.

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.

Most side effects do not require any medical attention and disappear as your body adjusts to the medicine. Consult your doctor if they persist or if you’re worried about them

Medicines that suppress the immune system need regular blood tests — do not miss them. Report fever, sore throat, mouth ulcers or unusual bruising promptly if you are on an immune-suppressing medicine. Tell your doctor about any infection, and before any vaccination. Methotrexate for arthritis is taken ONCE A WEEK. Taking it daily by mistake is dangerous — check the day on your pack.

Tell your doctor about all other medicines, especially anti-inflammatory painkillers and antibiotics. Live vaccines are generally avoided while on immune-suppressing treatment.

Store below 30°C, away from direct sunlight. Close the cap tightly after each use. Keep out of the reach of children.
