Leflunomide 10mg Tablets: My Experience and Questions
I was recently prescribed Leflunomide 10mg Tablets for my rheumatoid arthritis. I've been on it for about a month now, and while I've seen some improvement in my symptoms, I'm also experiencing some side effects that have me concerned. Has anyone else had issues with hair loss or stomach pain? How have you managed these side effects? Additionally, I'm curious about the long-term effects of this medication. Any insights or advice would be greatly appreciated!

I had a lot of nerve problems at first, but after a few months, it seemed to settle down. Just be patient and communicate with your doctor.
I found that the back pain actually got worse for me, but the joint pain improved. It's a trade-off, and I'm not sure it's worth it. Have you talked to your doctor about other options?
I've heard some really scary stories about the severe skin reactions. Please be vigilant and if you notice any unusual skin issues, go to the ER immediately.
I had some serious issues with liver problems when I started taking it. Make sure you get regular blood tests to monitor your liver function.
I'm so glad I found this thread. I was worried about the side effects, but it's good to know I'm not alone. I'll definitely talk to my doctor about managing the hair loss and stomach pain.
Ugh, the headaches were the worst. I had to switch to a different time of day to take the medication, and that helped a bit. Also, stay hydrated!
