Nasty side effect?
I’m settling onto
Leflunomide
and it is certainly helping my rheumy. But I keep getting bouts of queasiness, churning guts, vomiting and diarrhoea (sorry, bit graphic). Has anyone else experienced this with
Leflunomide
? Can anti-nausea pills help? Is it worth contacting my GP or rheumy nurse?

Nausea
I wouldn’t mind quite so much if I thought it was doing the job, but aside from making my hair disappear it’s done nothing, I’ve only ever had any improvement in my symptoms with the introduction and subsequent dose increase of the

Leflunomide
due to specific side effects and my medical history.

Stopping Methotrexate
I think I’m going to be offered sulfasalazine or
leflunomide
. I’m so scared of side effects especially with sulfasalazine as I had a bout of labyrinthitis last year which left me with tinnitus which is now better. I also like a glass or 2 of wine at the weekend so this puts me off

Leflunomide
Hi I've been advised to start this medication it's felt sulfafalazine isn't working they wanted to put me back on methotrexate alongside it however said no due to methotrexate really not suiting me However reading the information I have it seems they are very similar ?? Also I see it mentions it

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
