Introduction: Side Effects of Olumiant. Olumiant (baricitinib) tablets treat rheumatoid arthritis, severe alopecia areata, and COVID-19 in certain patients. These conditions can be caused by an overactive immune system that causes inflammation.
Olumiant works by blocking a specific protein (Janus kinase) that causes inflammation to relieve the symptoms of these conditions. Olumiant is categorized as a Janus kinase inhibitor (JAK inhibitor).
JAK inhibitors target the Janus kinase pathway, which is involved in the body’s immune response. By inhibiting this pathway, Olumiant helps to reduce inflammation and alleviate the symptoms of conditions like rheumatoid arthritis.
