JAK inhibitors belong to a family of medicine called DMARDs (disease-modifying antirheumatic drugs). Three JAK inhibitors, baricitinib, tofacitinib, and upadacitinib, are approved by the FDA to
Although JAK inhibitors are developed to block specific JAKs, higher doses may have effect on multiple JAKs, causing off-target binding and leading to immunosuppressive, metabolic, hepatotoxic, and hematological effects (Figure 1) . Moreover, as every drug, JAK inhibitors could induce drug allergies and induce drug-drug interactions.
