Iguate 25 Mg Tablet

IGUATE 25 MG Tablet contains Iguratimod 25 mg, a disease-modifying anti-rheumatic drug (DMARD) used to manage autoimmune conditions, particularly rheumatoid arthritis (RA). It works by suppressing inflammatory cytokines and modulating immune responses, helping to slow disease progression, reduce joint damage, and improve mobility. Iguratimod is often used when conventional DMARDs are insufficient or not tolerated.

Uses:

• Rheumatoid arthritis

• Autoimmune joint disorders

• As an adjunct to other DMARDs or biologics in inflammatory arthritis

• Potential off-label use in systemic lupus erythematosus and related conditions (under medical guidance)

Benefits:

• Helps reduce joint inflammation, pain, and stiffness

• Slows progression of joint damage in RA

• Improves physical function and quality of life

• Can be used in combination with other RA therapies (like methotrexate)

• Well-tolerated with low immunosuppressive load compared to traditional DMARDs

Side Effects:

Common and uncommon side effects may include:

• Gastrointestinal discomfort (nausea, abdominal pain, diarrhea)

• Headache or dizziness

• Increased liver enzymes (requires monitoring)

• Rash or allergic reactions

• Hematologic abnormalities (rare) like low white blood cell count

Precautions:
