J1707 Leflunomide
My research found
leflunomide
is one of the few Dmards that was developed just for rheumatoid arthritis, the rest were found as a side effect of treating something else. Personally I would say give it a try.

Leflunomide?
He has prescribed
Leflunomide
and will see me again in January when, if no improvement, he will consider a biologic. I have had PMR since May 2017 and, according to the rheumy, also have inflammatory arthritis. Any thoughts anyone...?

Struggling after long period of remission
Came off those and tried
Leflunomide
which I had a reaction to, then finally took Ciclosporin which I came off due to the side effects. After being offered archaeic gold injections which I refused they said they thought I was in remission so wasn’t put on anything else.

Questions about Drug Effects
My rheumy spoke of switching me to
Leflunomide
, saying her patients don’t report stomach problems with it as much as with MXT. Has anyone found this to be true? I’m leery of going on it due to what I’ve read about it raising blood pressure and cholesterol (I already have high cholesterol).

Leflunomide
I believe it was "Bob the Builder" who responded to my initial questions and said that he managed to switch from prednisone to
leflunomide
and I just wanted to know what dosage did he get down to in prednisone in order to make that transition. Many Thanks

Question on Leflunomide
I believe it was Bob the Builder who said he was on prednisone and managed to get off of it and go onto
Leflunomide
and feels a whole lot better. I forgot to ask what dose he was one when his doctor was able to incorporate the
Leflunomide
and eliminate the pred. thanks

Life after Leflunomide
Anyway, I've been put back on
Leflunomide
for 6 months with regular attendance every 3 months with my rheumy. I'm slowly tapering off Pred over the next few months so hopefully, everything will work out well. Disappointed? Yes, but it's only 6 months.

Well! I just don't know what I have.
Have been on MTX injections,
Leflunomide
and now HYD and PRED. The first two I sadly did not tolerate, with LEF certainly the worse, with mouth and throat sores within 48 hours. So, after my last discussion with the Consultant, the idea of UCTD came up.

Mtx and Leflunomide
Can you take mtx and
leflunomide
together? I’ve been having a terrible flare for 6 weeks and had a telephone chat with rheumatologist today. He wants to increase the mtx injection but I’ve tried it before and any dose over 15mg makes me sick. He said if that didn’t work, he would try
leflunomide
.

Cause of diarrhoea and pain after antibiotics?
Is this anything to do with the combination of antibiotics and her prescribed medication,
Leflunomide
etc? Does she need to up the steroids whist she is so incapacitated - I have read that that is often the case. Currently 20mg Pred and 10mg

Branded meds - not allowed...
I have always used the brand Arava
Leflunomide
10mg as it works for me. Drove to hospital Hobbs Pharmacy said not that brand but can have a cheaper one. I am somewhat astounded to be honest.

answer to Jeromekjerome re Leflunomide
There are more and more studies about
Leflunomide
being effective for PMR. I am now down to 8 mg. prednisone with the
Leflunomide
and slowly slowly tapering. I am not a candidate for Methotrexate sp? so the MD said the no. 3 choice when those 2 fail is
Leflunomide
.
