Leflunomide 20 mg

Leflunomide 20 mg tablets are used to manage rheumatoid arthritis and other autoimmune conditions. This oral medication helps reduce inflammation and slow disease progression.

Leflunomide is primarily used to treat rheumatoid arthritis, a condition where the immune system attacks the joints, causing pain and inflammation. It may also be prescribed for other autoimmune disorders where controlling the immune response is beneficial. Leflunomide works by suppressing the immune system to reduce inflammation and slow the progression of these conditions.

Common effects of Leflunomide may include diarrhea, hair loss, and mild skin rashes. Some users might experience fatigue or mild gastrointestinal discomfort. These effects vary and are not experienced by everyone.

Leflunomide should be handled with care, especially by pregnant women or those planning to become pregnant, as it can cause harm to an unborn child. Regular monitoring of liver function is recommended during treatment. Always follow the advice of a healthcare professional regarding its use.

Leflunomide 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 to avoid potential interactions. Alcohol consumption should be moderated while using Leflunomide.
