Arava dosage information

As maintenance dose for rheumatoid arthritis is advised intake of 10 to 20 mg of the medication 1 time / day; in psoriatic arthritis — 20 mg 1 time / day.

What may interact with?

There is no data about the effectiveness and safety of vaccination in terms of leflunomide therapy. Nevertheless, it is not recommended to be vaccinated with live vaccines.

In a study in which leflunomide was given to healthy female volunteers together with three-phase oral contraceptive containing 30 mcg of etinilestradiol, reduction of the contraceptive effect wasn’t observed, and pharmacokinetics of A771726 completely fit into the prescribed range.

Amplification of adverse reactions may occur in case of recent or concomitant use of hepatotoxic or haematological drugs or when intake of these drugs was started after treatment with leflunomide without "cleansing the body" procedure.

Concomitant use of leflunomide with colestyramine or activated carbon leads to rapid and substantial reduction in the concentration of A771726.

Currently there is no information on the concomitant use of leflunomide with antimalarials used in rheumatology.

A list of these reactions is not complete and is only intended for general familiarization. For additions please contact your medical practitioner.
