Rutinib Cream (Ruxolitinib)

Introduction to Rutinib Cream

Rutinib Cream is a topical medication primarily used to manage skin conditions such as vitiligo and atopic dermatitis. It contains ruxolitinib, a Janus kinase (JAK) inhibitor, which works by blocking certain enzymes involved in the body’s immune response. This action helps reduce inflammation, itching, and abnormal skin pigmentation often associated with autoimmune skin disorders.

This cream is typically prescribed when other treatments like corticosteroids or light therapy have not been effective. It is applied directly to the affected areas of the skin, allowing targeted treatment with minimal systemic absorption. Patients usually begin to notice improvements in skin texture and color within a few weeks of consistent use, though full results may take longer.

While Rutinib Cream is generally well-tolerated, it may cause mild side effects like redness, burning, or irritation at the application site. It’s important to use it under a healthcare provider’s guidance to avoid complications or misuse. Regular monitoring ensures that the treatment is effective and safe over time. Ruxolitinib Cream is manufactured by Drug International Limited.
