Factor Name Immunosuppressive effects
Factor Description Immunosuppression is when your immune system is not functioning as it should. The immune system is made up of cells, tissues and organs that help the body fight off infections. If the immune system is suppressed, an infection that your body was able to control may become serious or even fatal.
      Mechanism Description
  • Additive immunosuppressive effects by the combination of Infliximab and Upadacitinib 

Recommended Action
      Management Concomitant use of upadacitinib with other JAK inhibitors, biologic disease-modifying antirheumatic drugs (bDMARDs), or potent immunosuppressants (e.g., azathioprine, cyclosporine) is not recommended. Patients receiving upadacitinib should be closely monitored for the development of signs and symptoms of infection during and after treatment, including the possible development of tuberculosis in patients who tested negative for latent tuberculosis infection prior to initiating therapy. If a serious or opportunistic infection develops, upadacitinib should be interrupted until the infection is controlled.
