Arava

Arava (Leflunomide) is an oral medication used to manage rheumatoid arthritis and other autoimmune conditions. It helps reduce inflammation and slow disease progression.

Arava is primarily used to treat rheumatoid arthritis, a condition where the body's immune system attacks the joints, causing pain, swelling, and stiffness. It is also used for other autoimmune disorders where inflammation control is necessary. People often ask, 'What is Arava used for?' and the answer is that it helps manage symptoms and slow the progression of these conditions.

Common effects of Arava may include diarrhea, hair loss, and mild upper respiratory infections. Some users also report feeling tired or experiencing mild nausea. These effects vary and are not experienced by everyone.

Arava should be handled with care, especially by those with liver problems or severe infections. Regular monitoring of liver function is recommended. Pregnant women or those planning to become pregnant should consult a healthcare provider before using Arava.

Arava may interact with other medications, including those metabolized by the liver. It is important to inform your healthcare provider about all medications you are taking. Alcohol consumption should be limited while using Arava.
