How much does Baricitinib cost?

Baricitinib (Baricitinib) is a Janus kinase inhibitor used to treat rheumatoid arthritis (rheumatoid arthritis). It regulates immune responses and inflammatory processes by inhibiting Janus kinases in the body.

In the treatment of rheumatoid arthritis, baricitinib is used as an immunomodulator to help relieve symptoms of the disease and reduce inflammation. It can reduce symptoms such as joint pain, swelling and stiffness by reducing the production of inflammatory mediators, while slowing further damage to the joints.

In addition to rheumatoid arthritis, baricitinib has also been studied and applied to other inflammatory diseases, such as psoriatic arthritis (psoriatic arthritis) and systemic lupus erythematosus (systemic lupus erythematosus). Its use requires a doctor's prescription and guidance, and the dosage and treatment regimen are individually adjusted based on the patient's specific circumstances.

The use of baricitinib should be evaluated and determined by the physician based on the patient's specific situation and needs. Like any drug, baricitinib may cause side effects such as infection, lymphoma, and thrombocytopenia. Therefore, patients should pay close attention to any unusual symptoms while taking baricitinib and have regular medical examinations and monitoring. Only a doctor can evaluate a patient's condition and ensure safe and effective use of baricitinib.

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.
