Description
Upadacitinib 15 mg (Upanib) is a prescription medication in the class of Janus kinase (JAK) inhibitors. It is primarily used to treat moderate to severe rheumatoid arthritis, psoriatic arthritis, atopic dermatitis, ulcerative colitis, and ankylosing spondylitis in adults. The drug works to regulate the immune system to reduce inflammation and relieve symptoms associated with chronic autoimmune diseases.
Composition and Dosage Each Upanib tablet contains the active ingredient Upadacitinib 15 mg. The recommended dosage may vary depending on the condition being treated and the patient’s overall health. In general, the standard adult dose is 15 mg taken once a day with or without food. However, in some cases, your doctor may adjust the dose to optimize your treatment results.
Indications and uses Upanib is indicated for the following conditions:
Rheumatoid arthritis (RA): Upadacitinib is used in patients with moderate to severe RA who have not responded adequately to traditional disease-modifying antirheumatic drugs (DMARDs).
Psoriatic arthritis (PsA): Helps relieve symptoms in patients who have not responded adequately to previous treatments.
Atopic dermatitis (eczema): Used to treat moderate to severe cases where other systemic treatments have not worked. Ulcerative colitis: Approved for adults with moderate to severe ulcerative colitis that is not responding to conventional treatments.
Ankylosing spondylitis: Helps reduce inflammation and stiffness in the spine.
Mechanism of action Upadacitinib is a selective JAK1 inhibitor that works by blocking specific pathways involved in inflammation. By inhibiting JAK1, Upanib helps regulate the immune response that leads to chronic inflammation in autoimmune diseases. This reduces pain and swelling and shortens the course of the disease.
