About Igufighter Tablet
Igufighter Tablet is used to treat rheumatoid arthritis. Rheumatoid arthritis is an auto-immune disease (the body's immune system attacks its tissue) which leads to joint pain and damage. It is characterised by loss of joint function, progressive bone destruction, and joint synovitis (inflammation of the joints).
Igufighter Tablet contains Iguratimod, which inhibits the production of immunoglobulins and inflammatory cytokines. It inhibits osteoclast differentiation and bone resorption, thereby stimulating bone metabolism.
In some cases, you may experience certain common side effects, such as stomach pain, dizziness, headache, itchiness, nausea, and vomiting. Most of these side effects do not require medical attention and will resolve gradually over time. However, you are advised to talk to your doctor if you experience these side effects persistently.
Igufighter Tablet should be taken with food to avoid any stomach upset. Swallow the medicine as a whole with a glass of water. Do not chew, bite or crush the medicine. You are advised to take Igufighter Tablet for as long as your doctor has prescribed it for you, depending on your medical condition.
Inform your doctor if you are allergic to it. Consult your doctor if you are pregnant or breastfeeding. Igufighter Tablet may cause dizziness, so drive with caution. Limited information is available regarding the usage of Igufighter Tablet in children, so please consult a doctor if you have any concerns.
