Dear lybrate-user ji thanks for the query. Tofacitinib can have a number of adverse effects on the body including dizziness, headache, diarrhea, liver problems etc on the long run. For better quality of life of the patient, ayurveda can really work wonders in cases. Panchakarma can detoxify the patient first and then medicines can improve the the overall health status. Should you need any further help, please do write in to me at email
