How It Works
Betrecep 5mg tablet is a Janus kinase inhibitor as it contains Tofacitinib as an active ingredient. Janus kinase is a type of enzyme that comes under the category of tyrosine kinase.
This enzyme is involved in the signaling of cytokine receptors. It's a medicine that blocks the action of Janus kinase, which automatically reduces the activity of the immune system.
This results in decreased inflammation caused due to rheumatic diseases, ulcerative colitis, and other conditions treated by this medicine.
