Teriflunomide Teva Sante

Teriflunomide Teva Santé is an oral medication used to manage certain autoimmune conditions. It belongs to the immunomodulatory class and is prescribed for adults. This product is manufactured by Teva Santé in the EU.

Teriflunomide is primarily used to treat relapsing forms of multiple sclerosis (MS) in adults. It helps reduce the frequency of relapses and slows the progression of physical disability. The medication works by modulating the immune system to decrease inflammation and immune response in the central nervous system.

Common effects of teriflunomide include mild gastrointestinal discomfort, such as nausea or diarrhea, especially when starting treatment. Some users may experience headaches or mild hair thinning. These effects are typically temporary and may diminish as the body adjusts to the medication.

Teriflunomide should be used with caution in individuals with liver conditions or a history of infections. Regular monitoring of liver function and blood cell counts is recommended during treatment. Women of childbearing potential should use effective contraception due to potential risks to a fetus.

Teriflunomide may interact with medications that affect liver enzymes, such as certain antibiotics or anticonvulsants. Combining it with alcohol or other hepatotoxic drugs could increase the risk of liver-related side effects. Patients should inform their healthcare provider about all medications they are taking.
