Introduction to Jakavi 10mg Tablet

Jakavi 10mg Tablet contains ruxolitinib as its active ingredient. It is an anticancer medicine that belongs to the class of kinase inhibitors. This medication is primarily used to treat myelofibrosis, a rare type of bone marrow cancer that leads to reduced blood cell production. It is also prescribed for polycythemia vera, a blood cancer in which the body produces excessive red blood cells, particularly in patients who do not respond to or cannot tolerate treatment with hydroxyurea.

In addition, Jakavi 10mg is indicated for the treatment of acute graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) in adults and children aged 12 years and older who have not responded adequately to steroid therapy. It is also used to manage chronic graft-versus-host disease in patients aged 12 years and above who have had an unsuccessful response to one or two previous systemic treatments.

Jakavi works by blocking specific signals that promote the growth and multiplication of cancer cells, thereby helping to control disease progression.
