Liflunomide, I trying father a child

[Ahmed_Alhaideri]

Hi, I'm already taking Liflunomide 20mg one tab daily since 4 years ago, I want to father a child, is there any problem to do that ? is it need to stop taking Liflunomide and have a washout treatment?

Thanks in advance

Hello Ahmed, I've copied the following from a document on the National Rheumatoid Arthritis website

"Recommendations for men

Leflunomide is suspected of causing birth defects

For men wanting to father a child reliable contraception is essential for at least three months after stopping it or for 11 days using a ‘wash out’ procedure"

Hope this helps and may I wish you every success in your hope to have a child.
