Yes, Rinvoq (upadacitinib) is a medication that some people with RA are using! It's a once-daily, extended-release tablet approved by the FDA in August 2019 for adults with moderate to severe RA.
It works by targeting a specific signaling protein called JAK1, which plays a role in the inflammation that causes RA symptoms. It's typically prescribed for people who haven't responded well to, or can't tolerate, methotrexate. It can be taken on its own or alongside methotrexate. A few things worth knowing about Rinvoq:
- It belongs to a class of drugs called JAK inhibitors, which are a type of DMARD (disease-modifying antirheumatic drug)
- DMARDs like Rinvoq are important because they don't just ease symptoms — they can actually help slow joint damage over time
- Weight changes are listed as a possible side effect, though clinical trials for RA didn't show significant weight gain
- As with any RA medication, it's important to discuss the full risk and benefit profile with your rheumatologist before starting or changing treatment
It's always a good idea to check in with your doctor to see if Rinvoq might be a good fit for your specific situation.
