The more serious side effects may include:

• Cough, shortness of breath, coughing up pink or red mucus

Questions and Answers

1. Why do I have to take tests frequently while on Olumiant?
Answer: Taking Olumiant can increase your risk of developing certain cancers, as well as impact your immune system. You can get infections more easily, including serious or fatal infections. Your doctor needs to examine you frequently to ensure this doesn’t happen.

2. Can I receive vaccines while on this medication?
Answer: You can receive some vaccines, but be sure to avoid taking “live” vaccines while on Olumiant for at least 6 months after you stop taking it. These vaccines may not work as well and will not protect you adequately from the disease. Talk to your doctor about which vaccines are “live.”

3. I’m traveling out of country and taking Olumiant.
Answer: Do I need to do anything special? Tuberculosis and other infections are more common in other parts of the world and it’s possible to be exposed to them while traveling. Be sure to talk to your doctor about your travel plans so you can have a plan in place to protect yourself on your travels, as well as being tested upon your return.
