I only take Folic Acid because I'm also on MTX. With Leflunomide alone, I don't take Folic.

You only usually take folic acid with methotrexate, unless you're prescribed them for anaemia? If not then no, you don't need them with leflunomide. I always took my LEF with food, they went down easier I found. I hope it helps you.
