Olumiant 2 mg (Baricitinib / Barinib) – Targeted JAK Inhibitor for Rheumatoid Arthritis
Olumiant 2 mg, containing Baricitinib, is a modern oral therapy used for the treatment of moderate to severe rheumatoid arthritis (RA). It belongs to the Janus Kinase (JAK) inhibitor class and works by blocking the pathways responsible for inflammation.
Barinib is a popular generic alternative offering the same therapeutic benefits at a more accessible price, commonly prescribed to patients who have not responded adequately to traditional DMARDs or biologic treatments.
