Adapted from Fleischmann R et al 2017.1
XELJANZ in combination with methotrexate is indicated for the treatment of moderate to severe active rheumatoid arthritis (RA) in adult patients who have responded inadequately to, or who are intolerant to one or more disease-modifying antirheumatic drugs. XELJANZ can be given as monotherapy in case of intolerance to MTX or when treatment with MTX is inappropriate.2
XELJANZ 5 mg BID and XELJANZ 11 mg prolonged-release once daily tablets are the only approved dosages for the treatment of RA, which should not be exceeded.2
