Long-term use of tofacitinib may also be associated with an increased risk of certain cancers.
Safety Advice:
Patients taking tofacitinib should be monitored regularly for signs of infection, liver function abnormalities, and changes in blood cell counts. It’s important for patients to follow their healthcare provider’s instructions carefully and report any side effects or concerns promptly. Tofacitinib may not be suitable for individuals with certain pre-existing conditions, so a thorough medical evaluation is necessary before starting treatment.
