  • The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) originally approved Olumiant (baricitinib) in 2018 to treat rheumatoid arthritis.
  • The approval of Oluminant reportedly marks the first time the FDA approved a “systemic treatment” for this form of alopecia.
  • Olumiant is available in tablet form and is a daily medication.

How Olumiant works​

CytokinesTrusted Source, which are proteins involved in cell signaling, play a role in autoimmune diseases. When the body produces an excessive amount of cytokines, this can dysregulate the immune system.

Oluminant works by interrupting cytokine cell signaling as well as the signaling pathways of enzymes.

This affects the body by lowering its immune system. As a result, Olumiant creates an opportunity for the body to start growing hair again.





A new hope? :Comfy:
 
they will only give this to patch-headed severe allopecia areata patients. not normal balding guys. the former is an autoimmune issue while the latter is due to dht.
