I was like, 'Wait, something’s different about your legs and your arms.’ And I started documenting and taking pictures and just keeping track every couple of weeks.

In clinical studies, OPZELURA was proven to help restore the skin's color on your face over time. The results below show improvement in a score that measured vitiligo areas on the face. Individual results may vary. OPZELURA is not for everyone.
Incyte has engaged Populus, a telehealth marketplace that connects you with a board-certified dermatologist, so you can get more information about vitiligo and to see if OPZELURA is right for you. All you have to do is answer a short questionnaire!

OPZELURA is a prescription medicine used on the skin (topical) for:
The use of OPZELURA along with therapeutic biologics, other JAK inhibitors, or strong immunosuppressants such as azathioprine or cyclosporine is not recommended.
OPZELURA is for use on the skin only. Do not use OPZELURA in your eyes, mouth, or vagina.
OPZELURA may cause serious side effects, including:
Serious Infections: OPZELURA contains ruxolitinib. Ruxolitinib belongs to a class of medicines called Janus kinase (JAK) inhibitors, which are medicines that affect your immune system and can lower your ability to fight infections. Some people have had serious infections while taking JAK inhibitors by mouth, including tuberculosis (TB), and infections caused by bacteria, fungi, or viruses that can spread throughout the body. Some people have been hospitalized or died from these infections. Some people have had serious infections of their lungs while using OPZELURA. Your healthcare provider should watch you closely for signs and symptoms of TB during treatment with OPZELURA.
OPZELURA should not be used in people with an active, serious infection, including localized infections. You should not start using OPZELURA if you have any kind of infection unless your healthcare provider tells you it is okay. You may be at a higher risk of developing shingles (herpes zoster) while using OPZELURA.
Increased risk of death due to any reason (all causes) and major cardiovascular events: Increased risk of death and major cardiovascular events (eg, heart attack or stroke) has happened in people 50 years of age and older who have at least 1 heart disease (cardiovascular) risk factor and are taking JAK inhibitors by mouth, especially current or past smokers.
Cancer and immune system problems: OPZELURA may increase your risk of certain cancers by changing the way your immune system works. People taking JAK inhibitors by mouth have reported lymphoma and other cancers and are at higher risk of certain cancers including lymphoma and lung cancer, especially if they have ever smoked. Some people have had skin cancers while using OPZELURA. Your healthcare provider will regularly check your skin during your treatment. Limit the amount of time you spend in the sun, wear protective clothing and use a broad-spectrum sunscreen.
Blood clots: Blood clots in the veins of your legs (deep vein thrombosis, DVT) or lungs (pulmonary embolism, PE) can happen in some people taking OPZELURA. This may be life-threatening. DVT and PE have happened more often in people taking JAK inhibitors by mouth who are 50 years of age and older and with at least 1 heart disease (cardiovascular) risk factor.
Low blood cell counts: OPZELURA may cause low platelet counts (thrombocytopenia), low red blood cell counts (anemia), and low white blood cell counts (neutropenia, lymphopenia, leukopenia). Your healthcare provider may do a blood test to check your blood cell counts during your treatment and may stop your treatment if signs or symptoms of low blood cell counts happen.
Potential risks from Janus kinase (JAK) inhibition: Cholesterol increase has happened in people when ruxolitinib is taken by mouth. Tell your healthcare provider if you have high cholesterol or triglycerides. Low blood sugar in people with diabetes has happened after taking JAK inhibitors by mouth.
