Baricitinib - What is it for

Baricitinib is used for the treatment of moderate to severe Rheumatoid Arthritis (RA) and Psoriatic Arthritis (PsA) when conventional disease-modifying antirheumatic drugs (csDMARDs) are not effective.

It works to reduce inflammation, thereby reducing symptoms of joint pain and swelling, and improving quality of life. Baricitinib does not work immediately and it may take weeks to months before you notice any improvement in symptoms.

Baricitinib is also used for the treatment of severe eczema and other medical conditions.
