Baricitinib is a medication that modulates the immune response for the treatment of autoimmune diseases.
MFDS ingredient code M266633
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.
Approved uses differ by product. Check each product's information for its actual use.
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.
