What does it do?

Abrocitinib is a drug that belongs to the Janus kinase (JAK) inhibitor class, primarily used for the treatment of atopic dermatitis. This ingredient plays a role in modulating the immune response to reduce skin inflammation and itching.

Abrocitinib reduces the production of inflammatory substances by blocking the JAK enzymes, which are signaling pathways within immune cells. As a result, skin inflammation and itching are alleviated, improving symptoms.
