Olumiant (baricitinib) is used for the treatment of adult patients with active rheumatoid arthritis, who already have had an inadequate response to one or more tumor necrosis factor (TNF) antagonist therapies. Baricitinib blocks the activity of certain enzymes that are involved in activating inflammation in the body.

Baricitinib Tablet 2mg helps in reducing pain, swelling, and inflammation in the joints.
Baricitinib is a selective and reversible Janus kinase 1 (JAK1) and 2 (JAK2) inhibitor. Janus kinases belong to the tyrosine-protein kinase family. They play a crucial role in the proinflammatory pathway signaling that is frequently over-activated in rheumatoid arthritis. By blocking the actions of JAK1/2, Baricitinib tablet 2mg works to disrupt the activation of downstream signaling molecules and proinflammatory mediators.
How does Baricitinib Tablet 2mg work?
Baricitinib works by inhibiting IL-6-induced STAT3 phosphorylation. Baricitinib administration results in a dose-dependent inhibition of IL-6-induced STAT3 phosphorylation in whole blood from healthy subjects with maximal inhibition observed approximately 1 hour after dosing, which returned to near baseline by 24 hours. Similar levels of inhibition were seen using either IL-6 or TPO as the stimulus.
Mean serum IgG, IgM, and IgA values decreased by 12 weeks after starting treatment with Olumiant and remained stable through at least 52 weeks. For most patients, changes in immunoglobulins occurred within the normal reference range.
C-reactive protein
In patients with rheumatoid arthritis, decreases in serum C-reactive protein (CRP) were observed as early as one week after starting treatment with Olumiant and were maintained throughout dosing.
At a dose 10 times the maximum recommended dose, Baricitinib Tablet 2mg does not prolong the QT interval to any clinically relevant extent.
The active ingredient in Olumiant is Baricitinib. Other ingredients are croscarmellose sodium, magnesium stearate, mannitol, microcrystalline cellulose, iron oxide red, lecithin, macrogol 3350, polyvinyl alcohol, purified talc, and titanium dioxide.
