Xeljanz is usually taken orally, with or without food, as directed by your healthcare provider. The dosage and the frequency depend on the specific condition being treated and the patient's response to the medication. It is important to follow your doctor's directions closely and continue taking Xeljanz even if you feel well.
What are the possible side effects?
Common side effects of Xeljanz include upper respiratory tract infections, headache, diarrhea, and nasal congestion. Serious side effects may include serious infections, blood clots, cancer, heart problems, and liver enzyme elevations. Notify your healthcare provider if you experience any severe side effects or signs of infection.
What are the potential interactions?
Xeljanz can interact with a wide range of medications, which can either reduce its effectiveness or increase the risk of side effects. These include certain immunosuppressants, live vaccines, and drugs that affect the liver enzymes responsible for its metabolism. It is crucial to inform your healthcare provider of all medications, supplements, and vitamins you are taking before starting Xeljanz.
