It has been two years since my husband started on Xeljanz. He is still in full remission, and no apparent side effects.
He recently had a checkup with the doc who prescribed it. The doctor only has had about 10 patients on Xeljanz for UC since it is not yet approved by FDA. Of those, my husband has been on it the longest, and is the only one to achieve full remission. It has helped some of his other patients, and had no effect for others.
FDA approval is expected this summer.
