Can baricitinib treat hair loss?

Baricitinib is not currently approved for the treatment of hair loss. Baricitinib is a Janus kinase inhibitor (JAK inhibitor), mainly used to treat rheumatoid arthritis ( RA) and other autoimmune diseases such as rheumatoid arthritis (PsA) and psoriatic arthritis (PsA).

Although the mechanism of action of baricitinib involves immune regulation and inflammation suppression, there is currently insufficient scientific evidence that baricitinib has a therapeutic effect on hair loss. Hair loss is a disease caused by a variety of factors, including genetics, hormonal imbalances, malnutrition, stress, etc. Therefore, treatment for hair loss usually requires measures to target the specific cause.

If you are experiencing hair loss, I recommend consulting a dermatologist or a specialist who specializes in hair loss treatment. They can evaluate your specific situation and provide appropriate treatment recommendations and options. Remember, early diagnosis and treatment are key to dealing with hair loss, so consultation with a professional doctor is important.

Baricitinib has been launched in China and is included in medical insurance. Patients can purchase it domestically. Due to different medical insurance reimbursement policies in different regions, the reimbursement ratio is also different. The price is about 1200~1600 yuan. For specific prices, please consult the local pharmacy or the medical insurance bureau. Baricitinib has both original and generic drugs abroad. The original drug is mainly Eli Lilly’s original drug, and its price is higher than in China. Generic drugs are mainly Bangladeshi generic drugs, and the price is around 450 yuan. The ingredients of original drugs and generic drugs are basically the same.
