How Tofadoz Gel works
Tofadoz Gel suppresses overactive immune system by inhibiting certain enzymes called Janus kinases (JAKs). Thus, Tofadoz Gel blocks the production of pro-inflammatory substances (including cytokines) that contribute to the development of inflammation and other symptoms of atopic dermatitis. When used for androgenetic alopecia, Tofadoz Gel prevents destruction of hair follicles by overactive immune system. Applying Tofadoz Gel helps in hair regrowth in areas affected by androgenetic alopecia.
