2 / 2 results- 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.
