About Filgotinib
Filgotinib is indicated for the treatment of moderate to severe active rheumatoid arthritis in adults who have responded inadequately to, or who are intolerant to one or more disease‑modifying anti‑rheumatic drugs (DMARDs).Filgotinib may be used as monotherapy or in combination with methotrexate (MTX).
How is it taken?
Filgotinib is taken as a tablet once a day. Your doctor will advise on the dose for you. The tablets should be swallowed whole and taken with a glass of water, either with or without food. In some circumstances, your doctor may decide to alter the dose.
Try to take your dose at the same time each day – if you’re late taking it, just take it as soon as you remember. If you miss your daily dose completely, carry on with the usual dose the next day – do not double it. If you take more than the recommended dose by mistake, contact your doctor straight away.
Because it’s a long-term treatment, it’s important to keep taking filgotinib (unless you have severe side effects):
- even if it doesn’t seem to be working at first
- even when your symptoms improve (to help keep your condition under control).
Your doctor may decide to stop filgotinib and try another treatment if your symptoms haven’t improved very much after 6 months.
