What does it do?

Baricitinib belongs to the Janus kinase (JAK) inhibitor class and is primarily used for the treatment of autoimmune diseases such as rheumatoid arthritis. This ingredient acts as a non-specific immunosuppressant to regulate excessive immune responses.

Baricitinib inhibits the activity of JAK enzymes in the body, blocking the signaling of immune cells. This reduces the immune responses that cause inflammation, alleviating symptoms.

Good to know

Unlike other immunosuppressants, baricitinib selectively inhibits specific JAK enzymes, achieving a balance between efficacy and safety. As a result, the risk of side effects is relatively lower compared to systemic immunosuppression.
