Ritlecitinib is available as a 50 mg oral capsule.

Ritlecitinib is a JAK kinase and tyrosine kinase inhibitor and is used to treat severe hair loss (alopecia areata) in people ages 12 years and older.

Ritlecitinib is a kinase inhibitor. It works by blocking enzymes (proteins) called Janus kinase (JAK) and tyrosine kinase. This prevents the activation of other proteins in your immune system from attacking hair follicles and causing hair loss.

Ritlecitinib is typically dosed at 50 mg by mouth once daily.
