There are limited options in the treatment ladder for urticaria as omalizumab is more effective in patients with raised immunoglobulin E levels; also, cost and feasibility of administration are limiting factors. Dose-related side effects often limit cyclosporine’s greater efficacy. We started tofacitinib for our 68-year-old patient who had been suffering from refractory CSU for the past 12 years and observed quick control of signs and symptoms starting within 2 weeks and good long-term control for over 9 months of which last 6 months were monotherapy.","PeriodicalId":340475,"journal":{"name":"Indian Journal of Skin Allergy","volume":" 9","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-07-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141672396","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
