While the oral form of tofacitinib (Xeljanz) is approved for treating conditions like rheumatoid arthritis, Tofacitinib gel is not a commercially available or FDA-approved product. It is an investigational or compounded medication used off-label by dermatologists to treat certain inflammatory and autoimmune skin diseases. This localized, targeted approach offers a promising alternative to systemic treatments for patients who have not responded to or cannot tolerate other therapies.
