Betrecep 5 mg (Tofacitinib) – Complete Product Description

Product Name: Betrecep 5 mg
Active Ingredient: Tofacitinib
Category: Autoimmune Disease Treatment, Immunomodulator

Description:
Betrecep 5 mg contains the active ingredient Tofacitinib, a Janus kinase (JAK) inhibitor used to manage autoimmune conditions such as rheumatoid arthritis (RA), psoriatic arthritis (PsA), and ulcerative colitis (UC). It works by modulating the immune system to reduce inflammation, joint pain, stiffness, and swelling, improving physical function and quality of life.

Uses / Indications:

• Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) in adults who have not responded well to methotrexate or other DMARDs

• Psoriatic arthritis (PsA) in adults

• Moderate to severe ulcerative colitis (UC)

• Occasionally explored in off-label uses under medical guidance

How It Works:
Tofacitinib selectively inhibits Janus kinases (JAK1, JAK3), enzymes that play a critical role in the signaling pathways of pro-inflammatory cytokines. By blocking these pathways, Betrecep reduces immune system overactivity, lowering inflammation and preventing further joint or tissue damage.
