Xeljanz (Tofacitinib Citrate): My experience on the trial
I have received a lot of interest from others on here in my involvement with the Xeljanz trials at Yale.
I thought it would be nice for everyone if I documented my progress on here.
Xeljanz is a Jak3 inhibitor and is believed to work with alopecia by turning off the distress signal relayed by the hair follicle to the attacking immune system which is the cause of the hairs falling out. Xeljanz comes in a strength of 5mg per pill and a full box contains 60 tablets. The recommended dosage for arthritis is 1 tablet in the morning and another in the evening each day.
The trial is set in a series of stages and there are requirements before participating. These include monthly visits and blood tests every 2 weeks. Dr Brett King is absolutely fantastic and is an inspiration to me. His positivity and enthusiasm gives me the much needed hope I have craved for over a decade. I have been put on a low dose to start with which is 1 tablet every other day. My dosage has now been increased to 1 tablet every day and next month it could be increased to 2 tablets per day depending on the results.
I have completed my first month and have already noticed my alopecia has stabilised . I have not lost any existing hairs. In addition to this I have seen little hairs growing in my chest area as well as eyebrows. Fingers crossed! To date, I have experienced no side effects.

The site in the link below had Xeljanz in powder form too. Im not to sure this stuff is edible in this form. The "not for human use" kinda threw me off.

The powder form is usually used for testing on lab rats. Aladdin, please be careful and at least ask a doctor if it's safe to go forward with this.

Now I understand what you meant by the doctors aren't good there. I'm actually Indian too, well my parents are from India. Once when I visited, I got a fever and went to a doctor there. The doctor literally gave me 7 different pills to take! It was kinda scary because usually I would take one pill for a fever over here, so I decided not to take the seven pills and let the fever subside on its own. So I somewhat understand your situation now. Isn't Ruxolitinib (Jakafi) available in India?
