generic Arava

This medication is used to treat rheumatoid arthritis, a condition in which the body's defense system (immune system) fails to recognize the body as itself and attacks the healthy tissues around the joints. Leflunomide helps to reduce the joint damage/pain/swelling and helps you to move better. It works by weakening your immune system and decreasing swelling (inflammation).

Warnings

Leflunomide must not be used during pregnancy because it may cause serious harm (possibly death) to an unborn baby. Women of childbearing age must have a negative pregnancy test before starting this medication. They must also use reliable forms of birth control during treatment and after stopping it until they have finished taking another drug that helps leflunomide leave the body and confirmed through 2 blood tests that the leflunomide levels are very low (see How to Use section). If you become pregnant or think you may be pregnant, tell your doctor right away (see also Precautions section). This drug may rarely cause serious (possibly fatal) liver disease. Most cases occur within 6 months of taking this drug. If you already have liver disease (such as hepatitis B or C), leflunomide should not be used. Liver function (blood) tests must be performed periodically while taking leflunomide. Tell your doctor right away if you notice nausea/vomiting that doesn't stop, dark urine, light-colored stools, stomach/abdominal pain, yellowing eyes/skin. See Drug Interactions section.

Side Effects

Diarrhea, nausea, and dizziness may occur. If any of these effects last or get worse, tell your doctor or pharmacist promptly.

Get medical help right away if you have any very serious side effects, including: skin sores. A very serious allergic reaction to this drug is rare.
