Olumiant Information

Olumiant at CanadaPharmacyOnline.com

The manufacturer of brand-name Olumiant (baricitinib) is Eli Lilly and Company. Developed in collaboration with Incyte Corporation, Olumiant is a targeted oral medication that has expanded from treating joint inflammation to becoming a leading treatment for severe hair loss and certain viral complications.

The generic baricitinib is currently unavailable (at this pharmacy).

Dosage:

Olumiant (baricitinib) is available in the following oral strengths:
• Tablets: 2 mg and 4 mg.

The dosage depends on the condition being treated and the patient's kidney function.

Usage:

Olumiant is used to treat several distinct inflammatory and autoimmune conditions. It is used to treat adults with moderately to severely active rheumatoid arthritis who have not responded well to TNF blockers. Rheumatoid arthritis is a chronic autoimmune disorder in which the immune system attacks joint linings, causing painful swelling, stiffness, and potential deformity, most commonly in the hands and feet. It is a systemic disease that, if untreated, can damage cartilage and bone within the first two years. Olumiant is also used to treat adults with severe hair loss, marking the first systemic treatment approved for this condition.

Mechanism of Action
Baricitinib is a Janus kinase (JAK) inhibitor. Inside your cells, there are proteins called Janus kinases (JAK1 and JAK2) that act like messengers. When an inflammatory signal hits the cell, these JAK proteins relay the message to the nucleus, prompting the cell to produce more inflammation. Baricitinib specifically binds to these JAK proteins and blocks them. In rheumatoid arthritis, this reduces joint swelling and pain. In Alopecia Areata, the immune system is suppressed, allowing hair to regrow.

Take Olumiant exactly as your doctor prescribes, according to the product monograph. Take the medicine once daily with or without food.
