Reclaiming UC Symptom Relief May Be Possible
XELJANZ has helped some people with moderate to severe UC achieve remission at 8 weeks and stay in remission at 1 year.
XELJANZ is used to treat adults with moderately to severely active ulcerative colitis when 1 or more TNF blocker medicines have been used, and did not work well or cannot be tolerated.
Results From UC Clinical Trials* Prove XELJANZ Can Help Provide:
DISEASE
REMISSION
at 8 weeks
XELJANZ can help some patients achieve remission at 8 weeks.
STEROID-FREE
REMISSION
at 1 year
XELJANZ can help provide lasting, steroid-free remission in some patients at 1 year.
SYMPTOM
REDUCTION
in 2 weeks
XELJANZ can help reduce symptoms of rectal bleeding and stool frequency in some patients in as early as 2 weeks.
Adult patients with moderately to severely active UC were evaluated in clinical trials. Some patients in the clinical studies were taking background medicines and some were not. All patients in the studies had tried other medicines such as corticosteroids, azathioprine, or TNF blockers that did not work well or could not be tolerated. XELJANZ is approved for use in patients when TNF blockers did not work well or could not be tolerated.
Discussing UC
If your current treatment isn’t working well enough to manage your UC symptoms, it’s important to have an open and honest discussion with your doctor. Every appointment is an opportunity to improve the dialogue with your doctor and discuss how to manage your UC. If XELJANZ is appropriate for you and you want to continue with Pfizer's savings and support, make sure to ask your doctor to stay on brand-name XELJANZ.
Prepare
Write down any questions or concerns you have ahead of your appointment. This can help make the conversation easier and give your doctor a more complete picture of your symptoms.
Share
When you’re with your GI or another member of your healthcare team, you may feel uncomfortable talking, but it’s important that you share. The information you share with your doctor could be helpful in finding a treatment plan that may work best for you.
Align
Communicate with your healthcare team to help them understand your goals, concerns, and expectations. This conversation will be useful in getting everyone on the same page.
