Dr. Raj Chovatiya breaks down the science and myths behind JAK inhibitors—powerful meds transforming dermatology. While black box warnings sound scary, he explains they’re based on higher-risk arthritis patients, not those with skin conditions.
Unlike biologics, JAK inhibitors work inside cells to block multiple inflammatory pathways, delivering fast results—itch relief in days, visible skin improvement in weeks.
Dr. Chovatiya also shares what to really know about side effects, monitoring, and the shingles vaccine. With growing uses beyond eczema, JAKs are changing the game.
Listen in for a clear, honest look at these innovative treatments.
