Arava generically known as Leflunomide is an immunomodulatory drug used in the management of rheumatoid arthritis, psoriatic arthritis, and other autoimmune diseases. It belongs to a class of medications called disease-modifying anti-rheumatic drugs (DMARDs). It works by blocking an enzyme that produces toxins, thus reducing the inflammation and joint pain associated with the disease.
Leflunomide is a tablet used to treat rheumatoid arthritis, an autoimmune disorder that causes pain, swelling, and loss of function in the joints. Arava can be prescribed for people with psoriatic arthritis and active polyarticular juvenile idiopathic arthritis. It is typically used in combination with other medications and may be prescribed as monotherapy.
Avara (Leflunomide) comes in the form of a tablet and should be taken orally, with or without food. It is usually taken once a day or as directed by your doctor. You need to note that without a drug elimination procedure. Avara (Leflunomide) can stay in the body for up to two years.
The recommended maintenance dose for rheumatoid arthritis is Arava (Leflunomide) 20 mg administered once daily. A dose higher than 20 mg/day is not recommended. If the patient is not tolerating the 20 mg/day dose, the dosage may be reduced to 10 mg daily. The same maintenance dose of 20 mg per day is recommended for psoriatic arthritis.
To increase the chances of the medication being effective, a “loading dose” may be prescribed when the medicine is first taken. Arava therapy is typically initiated with a loading dose of 100 mg (five 20 mg tablets) once daily for 3 days. Avoiding the loading dose may reduce the risk of adverse events if Arava is used in combination with methotrexate.
