Yes, I have been on Leflunomide for years, with and without MTX. I only take folic for MTX never used it for Leflunomide alone.

Yes I take Leflunomide but haven't been given folic acid to take with them. The only thing I have too do if have a blood test done every two week for Leflunomide and BP checked. But that has now been changed to monthly. And that should be the same for anyone on Leflunomide due to side effects
