change to leflunomide

[gco34]

Hi can anyone give any advice on changing to this drug.. not keen on side effects I have Sle, on Warfarin now think rheumatoid arthritis!

Did you mean to post here since you say you have SLE? This is the Vasculitis forum - just wondered.

I attend vasculitis clinic

Am I on wrong site?

[PMRpro in reply to gco34]

No not necessarily, but there is a lupus forum here too - that's why I asked

I had the same dilemma a few years back , after seeking medical advice I was advised to stay on Warfarin ; better the devil you know than the devil you dont.

Hi. My personal experience with leflunamide several years ago, was suffering terrible migraines. I persisted for about 8 weeks, but migraines didn't resolve or reduce so I came off this drug. Unsure how common this side effect is.

Good luck and best wishes.
