learn Cetirizine

Could cetirizine help control autoimmune triggers in alopecia areata? No published trial has tested cetirizine in alopecia areata; one registered trial has not reported results. Small trials in pattern hair loss report modest benefit, so any use for alopecia areata is off-label and unproven.

learn Tofacitinib

What is tofacitinib, and why is it discussed in relation to autoimmune-related hair loss such as alopecia areata? Tofacitinib is a prescription JAK inhibitor approved for rheumatoid arthritis, psoriatic arthritis and ulcerative colitis — not for alopecia areata. It is discussed for hair loss because a 2014 case report and a 2016 open-label trial reported regrowth in severe alopecia areata, but that use is off-label, the regrowth relapsed after stopping, and the drug carries an FDA boxed warning.
