Atopic Dermatitis Adult and adolescent patients 12 years of age and older weighing at least 30 kg The recommended dose of upadacitinib is 15 mg once daily.

Ulcerative Colitis Induction The recommended induction dose of upadacitinib is 45 mg once daily for 8 weeks. For patients who do not achieve adequate therapeutic benefit by Week 8, upadacitinib 45 mg once daily may be continued for an additional 8 weeks (see sections 4.8 and 5.1 – please refer to the Product Insert/Patient Information Leaflet published on HSA for the full drug information). Upadacitinib should be discontinued in any patient who shows no evidence of therapeutic benefit by week 16.

In patients who have responded to treatment with upadacitinib, corticosteroids may be reduced and/or discontinued in accordance with standard of care. Crohn’s Disease Induction The recommended induction dose of upadacitinib is 45 mg once daily for 12 weeks. For patients who have not achieved adequate therapeutic benefit after the initial 12-week induction, prolonged induction for an additional 12 weeks with a dose of 30 mg once daily may be considered. For these patients, upadacitinib should be discontinued if there is no evidence of therapeutic benefit after 24 weeks of treatment. Maintenance The recommended maintenance dose of upadacitinib is 15 mg or 30 mg once daily based on individual patient presentation: <ul> <li>A dose of 30 mg once daily may be appropriate for patients with high disease burden or who do not show adequate therapeutic benefit to 15 mg once daily.</li> <li>The lowest effective dose to maintain response should be used.</li> </ul> For patients 65 years of age and older, the recommended maintenance dose is 15 mg once daily.
