Is OLUMIANT safe to use during pregnancy? Based on animal studies, OLUMIANT may cause fetal harm during pregnancy. Available data from clinical trials and postmarketing case reports with OLUMIANT exposure in pregnancy are insufficient to inform a drug-associated risk for major birth defects, miscarriage, or other adverse maternal or fetal outcomes. There are no human data on chronic baricitinib exposure throughout pregnancy. Consider the risks and benefits with chronic use of OLUMIANT during pregnancy. Can OLUMIANT be used during breastfeeding? No information is available on the presence of OLUMIANT in human milk, the effects of the drug on the breastfed infant, or the effects of the drug on milk production. Because of the potential for serious adverse reactions in nursing infants, advise women not to breastfeed during treatment with OLUMIANT and for 4 days after the last dose. Is OLUMIANT safe for use in pediatric patients? The safety and effectiveness of OLUMIANT in pediatric patients have not been established. Can OLUMIANT be used in geriatric patients? No overall differences in safety or effectiveness were observed between geriatric patients (65 years of age and older) and younger subjects in clinical trials. However, greater sensitivity of some older individuals cannot be ruled out. Care should be taken in dose selection and it may be useful to monitor renal function as geriatric patients are more likely to have decreased renal function. Can OLUMIANT be used in patients with hepatic impairment? No dose adjustment is necessary in patients with mild or moderate hepatic impairment. OLUMIANT has not been studied in patients with rheumatoid arthritis or alopecia areata and severe hepatic impairment and is therefore not recommended. OLUMIANT should only be used in patients with COVID-19 and severe hepatic impairment if the potential benefit outweighs the potential risk. Can OLUMIANT be used in patients with renal impairment? Renal function significantly affects baricitinib exposure. The recommended dosage of OLUMIANT in patients with moderate renal impairment (estimated glomerular filtration rate (GFR) between 30 and <60 mL/min/1.73 m2) should be reduced by half the recommended dose. OLUMIANT is not recommended for use in patients with rheumatoid arthritis or alopecia areata and severe renal impairment (estimated GFR of less than 30 mL/min/1.73 m2). | |
