Tacotinib 5 Tablet 10 contains tofacitinib (5 mg), which carries out its function in the body through the following mechanisms:

• Inhibition of JAK enzymes: Tofacitinib works by inhibiting the activity of Janus kinase (JAK) enzymes. These enzymes are pivotal in transmitting signals from certain proteins called cytokines involved in immune responses.

• Reduction of inflammation: Tofacitinib effectively reduces inflammation associated with rheumatoid arthritis, psoriatic arthritis, ankylosing spondylitis, and ulcerative colitis by blocking JAK enzymes.
