What does it do?

Filgotinib maleate belongs to the Janus kinase (JAK) inhibitor class of drugs. It is mainly used for the treatment of autoimmune diseases such as rheumatoid arthritis, and is used to manage excessive immune responses.

Filgotinib maleate selectively inhibits the JAK enzymes responsible for intracellular signaling in immune cells. This blockage prevents cytokine signals that trigger inflammation, leading to reduced inflammation and immune responses.
