Arava 20mg 30 Tablets

Leflunomide is a medication primarily used in the treatment of rheumatoid arthritis, an autoimmune disorder characterized by inflammation and damage to the joints. It belongs to a class of drugs known as disease-modifying antirheumatic drugs (DMARDs), which work by suppressing the immune system’s abnormal response that leads to joint inflammation and damage. One of the key benefits of leflunomide is its ability to slow down the progression of rheumatoid arthritis, thereby reducing pain, swelling, and stiffness in the affected joints. By targeting the underlying mechanisms of the disease, leflunomide helps to improve joint function and quality of life for individuals living with rheumatoid arthritis.

In addition to its role in rheumatoid arthritis, leflunomide has shown promise in the treatment of other autoimmune conditions, such as psoriatic arthritis and systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE). Its immunosuppressive effects make it effective in managing the symptoms of these conditions and preventing further joint damage. Leflunomide is available in oral tablet form and is typically taken once daily. It may take several weeks to months for the full therapeutic effects to be realized, and regular monitoring of liver function and blood cell counts is often necessary during treatment. While leflunomide can be effective in controlling symptoms and improving quality of life for individuals with autoimmune arthritis, it may also be associated with certain side effects, including liver toxicity and gastrointestinal disturbances.
