I take 10 mg Leflunomide daily, no side effects. Started with Methrotrexate and then Hydroxychloroquine had awful side effects on both of those drugs, could not tolerate had to go off. Been a year on Leflunomide, still have some sleep issues, some aching, stiffness, soreness and fatigue on and off but no big nasty flares. I don’t think any of these drugs are 100%, unless one is blessed with going into remission.
I take luflunomide 20mg per day, for 4 years no problem yet.
I take 10 mg Leflunomide daily, with Panquil and very few side effects. a bit of itching, mostly on my back. These 2 are working really well for me. I take other OTC vitamins for hair, skin and nails + Omega 3 fish oil, collagen every day.
I have taken Leflonumide but had to stop due too high levels of ALT and AST. My liver couldn’t handle it after a while. You should definitely have those levels regularly monitored. I hope it is a good med for you, fingers crossed!
I've been on leflunomide for years. I decreased to 4X/week now. Still doing well. Little to no side effects, I have slightly low white blood cell count and slightly elevated ALT.
Anyone out there on leflunomide? How is it or how has it worked for you? How long did it take to start feeling benefits??
