had to stop metho.because of 2 chest infections.

Now only on single tablet of lefluamide.

Will it work on its own to prevent flare ups?

It put m into total remission for years. Side effects at first soon went and so did RA. Brilliant medication I only wish I could still use it.

Great for those who want to forget to eat…I lost mega kgs on it that I could ill afford to lose. My rheumy said he had never seen such drastic result before..but as soon as I stopped taking it..my appetite returned.

Very odd experience.

It was a game changer for me. Worked really well for 4-5 years. Had to change to a biologic recently but Leflunomide was great with no side effects for me. Good luck

It can be just as effective as mtx. They’re just less likely to prescribe it because it’s more expensive than the mtx.

Methatexate made my hair fall out! I was switched to Leflunomide with no ill effects. Hope it works for you.🤓
