About This Medicine

Product description & overview

Olumiant 2mg Tablet contains Baricitinib, a selective Janus kinase (JAK) inhibitor used primarily in the treatment of moderate to severe rheumatoid arthritis in adult patients who have had an inadequate response or intolerance to one or more disease-modifying antirheumatic drugs (DMARDs). Baricitinib exerts its therapeutic effect by inhibiting the activity of JAK1 and JAK2 enzymes, thereby modulating the signaling pathways involved in the inflammatory process. This action helps reduce joint inflammation, pain, and structural damage associated with rheumatoid arthritis, improving physical function and quality of life. Olumiant may be administered as monotherapy or in combination with methotrexate or other conventional DMARDs. The recommended dosage is 2mg once daily, with adjustments based on clinical response and tolerability. Patients should be monitored regularly for signs of infection, hematological abnormalities, and liver function alterations, as Baricitinib may increase the risk of serious infections, thrombosis, and laboratory abnormalities. It is contraindicated in patients with active infections or severe hepatic impairment. Prior to initiation, screening for latent tuberculosis is advised. Olumiant should be used with caution in patients with a history of cardiovascular disease or malignancy, and pregnancy should be avoided during treatment.
