About LEFLUNOMIDE

LEFLUNOMIDE is a disease-modifying antirheumatic drug (DMARD) used to treat rheumatoid arthritis. It belongs to the class of medications known as pyrimidine synthesis inhibitors. LEFLUNOMIDE works by reducing the activity of the immune system, which helps to slow down the progression of rheumatoid arthritis and reduce symptoms such as joint pain and swelling.

Key Benefits & Uses

• Treatment of moderate to severe rheumatoid arthritis
• Reduction of symptoms such as joint pain and swelling
• Slowing down the progression of rheumatoid arthritis

Active Ingredient & Action

LEFLUNOMIDE contains the active ingredient LEFLUNOMIDE, which works by inhibiting the enzyme dihydroorotate dehydrogenase (DHODH). This enzyme is involved in the synthesis of pyrimidine nucleotides, which are essential for the proliferation of T-cells and other immune cells. By inhibiting DHODH, LEFLUNOMIDE reduces the production of pyrimidine nucleotides, which in turn reduces the activity of the immune system and helps to slow down the progression of rheumatoid arthritis.

Important Notes

Before taking LEFLUNOMIDE, it is essential to consult with a doctor or pharmacist to discuss the potential risks and benefits. LEFLUNOMIDE may not be suitable for everyone, particularly those with certain medical conditions or taking certain medications. It is also essential to follow the recommended dosage and usage instructions carefully to minimize the risk of side effects. Regular blood tests may be required to monitor liver function and other potential side effects.
