What is Cibinqo (abrocitinib) for?
Cibinqo (abrocitinib) is a JAK inhibitor indicated to treat moderate-to-severe atopic dermatitis, or eczema, in adults and adolescents 12 years and older who are candidates for systemic therapy.[1]
It is available in film-coated tablets form, each containing 100 mg or 200 mg abrocitinib.[1]
How does Cibinqo (abrocitinib) work?
Atopic dermatitis (AD) is a chronic, relapsing inflammatory skin condition in which the body’s immune system attacks healthy skin cells.[2]
The active substance in Cibinqo, abrocitinib, acts on enzymes known as Janus kinase-1 (JAK1). These enzymes play an important role in the process of inflammation that is seen in atopic dermatitis. By blocking JAK1’s action, abrocitinib helps reduce the inflammation and other symptoms of atopic dermatitis.[2]
