About polyarticular
juvenile idiopathic arthritis (pJIA)
Polyarticular juvenile idiopathic arthritis is a chronic (ongoing) condition. That means symptoms may keep coming back and last a long time. Once someone has pJIA, they may always have it. Caring for a child with a chronic condition presents unique challenges. Learn more with these caregiver resources.

What is inflammation?
The causes of pJIA are unknown. Some children with pJIA have an overactive immune system, which can lead to inflammation. This inflammation causes symptoms such as joint pain, swelling, and stiffness.
Inflammation is the body’s normal response to protect against something the immune system thinks will cause harm. When excess inflammation caused by the immune system doesn’t go away, it can lead to conditions such as pJIA and symptoms including:
- Painful, swollen, and tender joints
- Joint stiffness that worsens in the morning
Helpful tips for managing pJIA
Here are some steps you can take to help manage your child’s pJIA symptoms.
Taking
RINVOQ/RINVOQ LQ
It’s important to remember that pJIA is a chronic, or ongoing, condition. Giving RINVOQ/RINVOQ LQ to your child as prescribed is important because pJIA can persist even if they are not experiencing symptoms.
RINVOQ is available as RINVOQ LQ oral solution (a twice-daily liquid), or RINVOQ tablets (a once-daily pill). The exact dosing is based on your child's weight. RINVOQ/RINVOQ LQ must be given exactly as prescribed by their doctor. Refer to the Instructions for USE on how to prepare and give a dose of RINVOQ LQ oral solution. RINVOQ LQ oral solution is not interchangeable or substitutable with RINVOQ tablets.
RINVOQ LQ twice daily oral solution
Children weighing at least 22 pounds (10 kg) may be prescribed RINVOQ LQ oral solution.
- Give RINVOQ LQ oral solution twice daily, with or without food. Avoid food or drink containing grapefruit
- Do not dilute or mix the oral solution
RINVOQ once-daily pill
Children weighing greater than 66 pounds (30 kg) may be prescribed either RINVOQ LQ oral solution or RINVOQ tablets.
- Give a RINVOQ pill once daily, with or without food. Avoid food or drink containing grapefruit
- Do not split, crush, or chew the pill
Call your child's healthcare provider if you see medication residue (a whole tablet or tablet pieces) in their stool.
What should you do if your child misses a dose?
- Call your child’s doctor about the missed dose
- Set up a visual cue or reminder that will help you and/or your child remember to take RINVOQ/RINVOQ LQ
- Use treatment reminders and fill out your child’s treatment log in the RINVOQ Complete App, so you’ll know when/if your child has taken RINVOQ/RINVOQ LQ
Check in with your child’s doctor
Regular check-ins and open discussions with your child’s doctor about their condition can help them stay on track with their prescribed treatment plan.
Track symptoms
Use the RINVOQ Complete App to keep track of symptoms and share them with your child’s doctor.

How RINVOQ/RINVOQ LQ works
With pJIA, an overactive immune system can lead to inflammation and symptoms including painful, swollen, and tender joints. RINVOQ/RINVOQ LQ works inside cells to block certain signals that are thought to cause inflammation.
