A member asked:
Are many people with ra taken off leflunomide?
4 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Some: The main reasons people are taken off Leflunomide is that the drug doesn't work for them or that it causes a side-effect. Sometimes Leflunomide is no longer needed because another drug is treating the rheumatoid arthritis so well.
