In this article, we’ll cover leflunomide 10 mg uses, dosage, side effects, mechanism of action, and precautions, along with why Steris Healthcare is the trusted choice for high-quality medicines.

What is Leflunomide 10 mg?

Leflunomide 10 mg is a disease-modifying antirheumatic drug (DMARD). Unlike simple pain relievers, it works at the root cause of inflammation. By controlling the overactive immune system, it reduces pain and prevents long-term damage to the joints.

Tab leflunomide is commonly prescribed for patients who do not respond well to other arthritis medicines like methotrexate.

Leflunomide 10 mg Uses

Doctors prescribe leflunomide 10 mg mainly for:

• Treatment of rheumatoid arthritis

• Controlling inflammation and swelling in joints

• Improving mobility and quality of life

• Preventing joint damage over time

• Sometimes used in psoriatic arthritis management

Leflunomide Mechanism of Action

The mechanism of action of leflunomide is unique. It works by inhibiting an enzyme called dihydroorotate dehydrogenase (DHODH). This reduces the production of activated lymphocytes (a type of immune cell), which are responsible for attacking healthy tissues in autoimmune diseases.

In simple words, leflunomide 10 mg calms the overactive immune response and helps protect the joints from further damage.
