How to use Tofatas Ointment
This medicine is for external use only. Use it in the dose and duration as advised by your doctor. Check the label for directions before use. Clean and dry the affected area and gently massage the ointment.
How Tofatas Ointment works
Tofatas Ointment suppresses overactive immune system by inhibiting certain enzymes called Janus kinases (JAKs). Thus, Tofatas Ointment blocks the production of pro-inflammatory substances (including cytokines) that contribute to the development of inflammation and other symptoms of atopic dermatitis. When used for androgenetic alopecia, Tofatas Ointment prevents destruction of hair follicles by overactive immune system. Applying Tofatas Ointment helps in hair regrowth in areas affected by androgenetic alopecia.
