People are taking 5mg twice daily orally for AA. Just was checking out a forum for people taking Xeljanz(tofacitinib)for AA, and most seem to be getting their hair back of that dosage. They are being very closely monitored though, and the cost is still really high ( i think pfizer is giving discounts, but its still like 12 grand a year) I think somebody on this forum who has AA should get a hold of this stuff, and let someone with mpb trial it topically. It's worth a shot. There's gotta be someone on here with a relative or friend with rheumatoid arthritis or AA as well as mpb.
The safety has been established enough to show that no one is gonna cause serious harm to themselves short term. The main obstacle right now is the price, but if someone can get their dermatologist to prescribe it for rheumatoid arthritis then it wouldnt even be too expensive. anyone have arthritis?? Anyone have AA? The caveat is that someone with AA might not know if its curing their mpb even if its effective. would be good to have someone with mpb buy it from them and crush it into some vehicle and test it for a month or so. I think if it works it should show signs of doing something. It took quite a few months for some people with AA, but someone on here can probably get a year's supply for not too stepp if they have a compliant dermatologist that can get it for AA or Rheumatoid. I say screw waiting for the scientists. the means are out there to obtain this drug, as it is legal for other things, and making into into a topical solution can't be too hard. we might not get it perfect, but it should be enough to show if it does anything. If someone managed to have success and show pictures, and then send that anonymously to Christiano or just get it out there in the world, drug compaies may be more apt to jump on it. Safety just doesn't seem to be an issue short term especially. Tons of people are using it for AA now off label.
Interestingly Brett King also just showed that it works for eczema, which is something that I've been dealing with. I think these inflammatory responses are all related, and I think there's a good chance that a combination of these JAK inhibitors and a drug like setipiprant could really make a difference.
