JAK inhibitors

JAK inhibitors are a type of medicine designed to block specific signals inside your cells. These signals often contribute to ongoing inflammation or abnormal cell growth in the body. By interrupting these signals, JAK inhibitors help manage various conditions, such as certain blood disorders where the body produces too many blood cells, and autoimmune diseases like rheumatoid arthritis (which affects joints) and eczema (which causes skin inflammation). In this topic, you'll find information about how these medicines work, how they may fit into your treatment, and what to expect regarding their use and management.
