I have recently been very poorly with a severe chest infection. I am wondering if any of you have been more susceptible to having chest infections while on Leflunomide?

If I remember rightly you are more susceptible . I would Make sure I carry around hand gel as it helps a bit but mention it ask to your Rheumy x
Thank you allanah, I have placed a call with the rheumy nurse on Friday and they should be in touch with me possibly on Monday. I have stopped my leflunomide in the meantime. I also saw my GP and she agreed that I should stop it until I'm recovered and while on antibiotics. She also advised to get in touch with the hospital.
I really hope that this is not the start of side effects from the leflunomide which would lead of having to stop it. I was doing very well on Leflunomide.
