It's not a substitute for betnesol forte. Please let me know why it's been prescribed because this medicine, even though relatively safe, has some risks associated with it

Tofacitinib 5 mg is generally used to treat certain types of arthritis and other inflammatory conditions12. It is a Janus kinase (JAK) inhibitor that works by suppressing the immune system1. While it can be effective, it also comes with potential side effects, such as increased risk of infections, headaches, and gastrointestinal issues32. It’s important to follow your doctor’s instructions and report any unusual symptoms. Regarding its safety, Tofacitinib can be safe when used as prescribed, but it does carry risks, including serious infections and potential cardiovascular issues12. Always discuss any concerns with your prescribing doctor, especially if you have a history of liver or kidney disease, or if you are pregnant or breastfeeding31. Tofacitinib is not a direct substitute for Betnesol Forte (a corticosteroid). They work differently and are used for different conditions. Betnesol Forte is typically used for its anti-inflammatory and immunosuppressive effects in various conditions, including severe allergies and asthma1. If you have any doubts or need a medication adjustment, it’s best to consult with me If you have any more questions or need further clarification, feel free to ask
