Luflunomide - Red Spots - Rash on Face

[ladyelizajane]

Hi Folks

I have been taken Luflunomide for just over 2 weeks and I have a red spotty rash on my face. Has this happened to anyone else?

No didn’t get any side effects but def worth ringing your rheumy to report this rash xx

Thanks for the reply, spoke to the rheumy nurse today, she said stop taking it for the rest of the week to see if the symptoms go away, and if they do, start taking it again. I am not happy with that, I will phone back at the end of the week.

When I first started Leflunomide I did have 'hayfever' type side effects but it lasted about a month and then everything settled down.

Hope your Rheumy can help with this, get well soon.
