Is Upadacitinib effective in treating eczema?

Question

Hello doctor,

I am a 30-year-old woman dealing with eczema, and I am interested in the medication Rinvoq. I learned it could be beneficial through my research on the internet.

Can you provide details on how Rinvoq may help with eczema symptoms and its specific mechanisms?
What are the potential side effects and risks associated with Rinvoq for eczema?
How soon can one expect results, and is it suitable for long-term use?
Are there specific instructions or precautions to be aware of while using Rinvoq?

Please help.

Thank you.

Hi,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

I read your query and understand your concern.

Rinvoq (Upadacitinib) mitigates inflammation by suppressing the immune system, targeting the overactive immune response associated with eczema, a chronic skin condition characterized by inflammation. However, being an immunosuppressive agent, it poses a heightened risk of infections and presents various side effects, including body aches, cough, headache, and skin reactions. Results from Rinvoq typically manifest after a few weeks, and it is intended for long-term use.

I hope this helps.

Please revert in case of further queries.

Thank you.
