Excerpt

Baricitinib is an orally available small molecule inhibitor of Janus kinases that is used to treat moderate-to-severe rheumatoid arthritis, severe alopecia areata, and, in combination with remdesivir, severe COVID-19 in hospitalized patients requiring supplementary oxygen. Baricitinib is associated with transient and usually mild elevations in serum aminotransferase levels during therapy but has yet to be linked to cases of clinically apparent acute liver injury.
