    GlossaryOral JAK Inhibitors

    medications taken orally that block Janus kinase enzymes

    Oral JAK Inhibitors, also known as oral Janus kinase inhibitors or oral JAKis, are medications taken by mouth that block the activity of Janus kinase enzymes. These enzymes play a key role in the signaling pathways that regulate immune responses and inflammation. By inhibiting these enzymes, oral JAK inhibitors can help manage autoimmune conditions and inflammatory diseases, including certain types of alopecia, by reducing abnormal immune activity.
