- Alopecia areata: The typical starting dose is 2 mg by mouth once daily. If needed, your provider might raise your dose to 4 mg daily
Your provider will adjust your dose based on if you’re taking a medication that interacts with OLUMIANT, your blood cell counts, and if you have kidney or liver problems.
