Xeljanz is part of a class of medications called JAK inhibitors, which are relatively new compared to traditional biologic treatments for autoimmune diseases. Here’s how it compares to other commonly prescribed therapies for similar conditions:
| Medication | Class | Route | Dosing | Key Considerations |
| Xeljanz (tofacitinib) | JAK inhibitor | Oral | 1–2x daily | Oral option, convenient, but carries boxed warnings for serious risks |
| Humira (adalimumab) | TNF inhibitor | Injection | Every 2 weeks | Biologic with long-term safety data, carries infection and malignancy risk, Self-injection |
| Enbrel (etanercept) | TNF inhibitor | Injection | Weekly | Offers Self-injection , |
| Remicade (infliximab) | TNF inhibitor | IV infusion | Every 6–8 weeks | Administered at infusion centers, Weight-based dosing, |
| Rinvoq (upadacitinib) | JAK inhibitor | Oral | Once daily | Similar efficacy as Xeljanz, newer JAK inhibitor with similar risks |
Xeljanz is often favored for patients who prefer oral treatment or cannot tolerate injections or infusion therapies. However, the decision to use Xeljanz should be made in the context of the individual patient’s medical history and in consultation with their provider. Due to its risk profile, the FDA recommends considering other options first, especially TNF inhibitors, before initiating Xeljanz therapy.ns.
