Jakloc XR Tablet (Extended Release) 11 mg
Jakloc XR Tablet (Extended Release) 11 mg Uses, Dosage, Side Effects, Food Interaction and all others data.
Rheumatoid arthritis is an autoimmune disease characterized by a dysregulation of pro-inflammatory cytokines including IL7, IL15, IL21, IL6, IFN-alpha, and IFN-beta. (3) Cytokines signalling results in tissue inflammation and joint damage by stimulating the recruitment and activation of immune cells via the janus kinase signalling pathway.
Jakloc XR Tablet (Extended Release) 11 mg is a partial and reversible janus kinase (JAK) inihibitor that will prevent the body from responding to cytokine signals. By inhibiting JAKs, tofacitinib prevents the phosphorylation and activation of STATs. The JAK-STAT signalling pathway is involved in the transcription of cells involved in hematopoiesis, and immune cell function. Jakloc XR Tablet (Extended Release) 11 mg works therapeutically by inhibiting the JAK-STAT pathway to decrease the inflammatory response. However, there is evidence to suggest that it may also achieve efficacy via other pathways as well.
Jakloc XR Tablet (Extended Release) 11 mg targets inflammation present in rheumatoid arthritis by inhibiting the janus kinases involved in the inflammatory response pathway.
In placebo controlled trials of rheumatoid arthritis patients receiving 5mg or 10mg of tofacitinib twice daily, higher ACR20 responses were observed within 2 weeks in some patients (with ACR20 being defined as a minimum 20% reduction in joint pain or tenderness and 20% reduction in arthritis pain, patient disability, inflammatory markers, or global assessments of arthritis by patients or by doctors, according to the American College of Rheumatology (ACR) response criteria list), and improvements in physical functioning greater than placebo were also noted.
Common known adverse effects of tofacitinib include headaches, diarrhea, nausea, nasopharyngitis and upper respiratory tract infection. More serious immunologic and hematological adverse effects have also been noted resulting in lymphopenia, neutropenia, anemia, and increased risk of cancer and infection.

It may be used as monotherapy or in combination with methotrexate or other nonbiologic disease-modifying antirheumatic drugs (DMARDs).
Psoriatic Arthritis: Jakloc XR Tablet (Extended Release) 11 mg is used for the treatment of adult patients with active psoriatic arthritis who have had an inadequate response or intolerance to methotrexate or other disease-modifying antirheumatic drugs (DMARDs).
Ulcerative Colitis: Jakloc XR Tablet (Extended Release) 11 mg is used for the treatment of adult patients with moderately to severely active ulcerative colitis (UC).
Jakloc XR Tablet (Extended Release) 11 mg is also used to associated treatment for these conditions: Polyarticular-course Juvenile Idiopathic Arthritis (JIA), Moderate Rheumatoid arthritis, Severe Rheumatoid arthritis

Dosage
Jakloc XR Tablet (Extended Release) 11 mg dosage
Do not initiate Jakloc XR Tablet (Extended Release) 11 mgif absolute lymphocyte count <500 cells/mm3, an absolute neutrophil count (ANC) <1000 cells/mm3 or hemoglobin <9 gm/dL.
Rheumatoid Arthritis: Jakloc XR Tablet (Extended Release) 11 mg 5 mg twice daily or Jakloc XR Tablet (Extended Release) 11 mg 11 mg once daily.Recommended dosage in patients with moderate and severe renal impairment or moderate hepatic impairment is Jakloc XR Tablet (Extended Release) 11 mg 5 mg once daily.
Psoriatic Arthritis (in combination with nonbiologic DMARDs): Jakloc XR Tablet (Extended Release) 11 mg 5 mg twice daily or Jakloc XR Tablet (Extended Release) 11 mg 11 mg once daily. Recommended dosage in patients with moderate and severe renal impairment or moderate hepatic impairment is Jakloc XR Tablet (Extended Release) 11 mg 5 mg once daily.
Ulcerative Colitis:
- Jakloc XR Tablet (Extended Release) 11 mg 10 mg twice daily for at least 8 weeks; then 5 or 10 mg twice daily. Discontinue after 16 weeks of 10 mg twice daily, if adequate therapeutic benefit is not achieved. Use the lowest effective dose to maintain response.
- Recommended dosage in patients with moderate and severe renal impairment or moderate hepatic impairment: half the total daily dosage recommended for patients with normal renal and hepatic function.
Side Effects
The most commonly reported adverse reactions during the first 3 months in controlled clinical trials (occurring in greater than or equal to 2% of patients treated with Jakloc XR Tablet (Extended Release) 11 mg monotherapy or in combination with DMARDs) were upper respiratory tract infections, headache, diarrhea and nasopharyngitis.
Toxicity
Minimum lethal dose in rat: 500 mg/kg. Maximum asymptomatic dose in non human primate: 40 mg/kg.
Lymphatic, immune system, bone marrow and erythroid cell toxicity was seen in animal studies involving rate and monkeys. Doses used in these studies ranged from 1mg/kg/day to 10mg/kg/day, over a duration of 6 weeks to 6 months. Lymphopenia, neutropenia, and anemia is seen in human subjects and may call for an interruption or discontinuation of therapy if severe.
Reduced female fertility in rats was seen at exposures 17 times the maximum recommended human dose. Fertility may be impaired in human females and harm may be caused to unborn child. Carcinogenic potential is seen, however evidence for dose dependency is lacking.
Because the janus kinase pathway plays a role in stimulating the production of red blood cells and is involved in immune cell function, inhibition of this pathway leads to increased risk of anemia, neutropenia, lymphopenia, cancer and infection.
Lymphopenia, neutropenia, and anemia in human subjects may call for an interruption or discontinuation of therapy if severe.
Role of JAK inhibition in the development of gastrointestinal perforation is not known.
Precaution
Serious Infections: Avoid use of Jakloc XR Tablet (Extended Release) 11 mg during an active serious infection, including localized infections.
Gastrointestinal Perforations: Use with caution in patients that may be at increased risk.

Interaction
Potent inhibitors of Cytochrome P450 3A4 (CYP3A4) (e.g., Ketoconazole)
Recommended dose is Jakloc XR Tablet (Extended Release) 11 mg 5 mg once daily: One or more concomitant medications that result in both moderate inhibition of CYP3A4 and potent inhibition of CYP2C19 (e.g., fluconazole)
