A member asked:
Is there anyone on leflunomide for inflammatory arthritis?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes!: It vis what I use next after s.C. Methotrexate, inn most situations where the drug is important! it is potentially more toxic (liver), but appropriate monitoring should minimize any risk. It is a potent and good anti-inflamatory drug.
