Leflunomide 10mg

I started this 7 months ago to manage my RA as could not tolerate Methotrexate, but two weeks after starting, my right eye became partly red with no pain. Been to Moorfields several times, no steroid drops have helped. Has anyone had similar experience?

No sorry and took it for years with no side effects at all. x

I have, but not caused by Leflunomide. And steroid ointment (not drops) made it worse. Eye specialist said it was caused by Sjogren's Syndrome. After 2 years and 7 failed surgical procedures, all years ago, I'm now blind in that eye.
