Warnings & precautions in children

Lipids
Dose dependent increases in blood lipid parameters were reported in paediatric and adult patients treated with baricitinib. Elevations in low density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol decreased to pre-treatment levels in response to statin therapy in adults. In both paediatric and adult patients, lipid parameters should be assessed approximately 12 weeks following initiation of therapy and thereafter patients should be managed according to international clinical guidelines for
hyperlipidaemia.
