Baricitinib (Olumiant) 4 mg is a prescription oral medication classified as a Janus kinase (JAK) inhibitor. It is used to treat autoimmune and inflammatory diseases by regulating the immune system's response. By reducing inflammation, baricitinib helps relieve symptoms such as joint pain, swelling, and stiffness.
This medication is typically prescribed to patients with moderate to severe rheumatoid arthritis and other immune-mediated diseases.
Baricitinib selectively inhibits Janus kinase (JAK) enzymes involved in intracellular signaling pathways of the immune system. By blocking these pathways, the drug reduces the production of inflammatory cytokines, thereby helping to control excessive immune activity and inflammation.
