About PRO-LEFLUNOMIDE
PRO-LEFLUNOMIDE is a prescription medication containing the active ingredient Leflunomide, used to treat rheumatoid arthritis. It belongs to a class of medications known as disease-modifying antirheumatic drugs (DMARDs). Leflunomide works by reducing inflammation and slowing the progression of the disease.
Key Benefits & Uses
- Treatment of moderate to severe rheumatoid arthritis

Active Ingredient & Action
Leflunomide is a prodrug that is converted into its active metabolite, teriflunomide, in the body. Teriflunomide inhibits the enzyme dihydroorotate dehydrogenase, which is involved in the synthesis of pyrimidine nucleotides. This action reduces the proliferation of T and B lymphocytes, leading to a decrease in inflammation and immune response.
