Hi every one I'm new here 

I'm looking for feed back on Leflunomide tablets I have just come off metatrexa for my rheumatoid arthritis as I had a bad reaction to them 

Thank you

I've been on this drug for over 10 years. Used to have 10mg alongside MTX, but had to stop that due to high liver function test results. So now I have 20mg. Never had any problems with it, and it works well. Obviously better with a second drug but my rheumy is waiting for my DEXA scan results and is concentrating on my Osteoporosis at the moment. I think she wants to put me back on MTX at a lower dose, or Rituximab. Hope you get on well with Leflunomide.
