WHAT OLUMIANT IS AND WHAT IT IS USED FOR
Olumiant contains the active substance baricitinib. It belongs to a
group of medicines called Janus
kinase inhibitors, which help to reduce inflammation.
RHEUMATOID ARTHRITIS
Olumiant is used to treat adults with moderate to severe rheumatoid
arthritis, an inflammatory disease
of the joints, if previous therapy did not work well enough or was not
tolerated. Olumiant can be used
alone or together with some other medicines, such as methotrexate.
Olumiant works by reducing the activity of an enzyme in the body
called ‘Janus kinase’, which is
involved in inflammation. By reducing the activity of this enzyme,
Olumiant helps to reduce pain,
stiffness and swelling in your joints, tiredness, and helps to slow
damage to the bone and cartilage in
the joints. These effects can help you to do normal daily activities
and so improve the health-related
quality of life for patients with rheumatoid arthritis.
ATOPIC DERMATITIS
Olumiant is used to treat children from the age of 2 years,
adolescents and adults with mo
