Leflunomide

Uses

Leflunomide is used in the treatment of ulcerative colitis, Crohn's disease, systemic lupus erythematosus, Wilson's disease, ankylosing spondylitis, psoriatic arthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, and type 2 diabetes mellitus.

How it Works

How Leflunomide works Leflunomide inhibits the action of specific chemical messengers responsible for inflammation, swelling, and redness associated with certain autoimmune diseases. It targets the underlying disease process rather than merely alleviating the symptoms.

Side Effects

Common side effects of Leflunomide include nausea, headache, rash, diarrhea, respiratory tract infection, abnormal liver enzymes, and dyspepsia.

  • It will take 6-8 weeks for Leflunomide to take effect; therefore, continue taking the medication as directed.
  • Get blood tests done every 4 weeks to ensure that Leflunomide is not adversely affecting your liver or blood counts.
  • Avoid alcohol while taking Leflunomide, as it may harm your liver.
  • Do not take Leflunomide during pregnancy or breastfeeding.
  • Inform your doctor if you become pregnant while taking Leflunomide.
  • Leflunomide may increase the risk of infection; avoid close contact with individuals who have colds, flu, or other contagious illnesses.
  • Notify your doctor if you experience nausea or diarrhea.
