ARAVA TB 20MG

Arava TB 20mg contains leflunomide, a disease-modifying antirheumatic drug (DMARD) primarily used to treat rheumatoid arthritis and sometimes psoriatic arthritis. Leflunomide works by inhibiting the activity of certain immune cells, reducing inflammation, pain, and joint damage associated with these autoimmune conditions. By suppressing the overactive immune response, it helps slow the progression of the disease and improves the patient's quality of life.

The 20mg dose is commonly used as a maintenance dose, often following an initial loading dose or as prescribed by a healthcare provider. It is typically taken once daily, and patients should be closely monitored for potential side effects, including liver toxicity, immune suppression, and gastrointestinal issues. Regular blood tests are often required to monitor liver function and ensure the medication is safe and effective for long-term use.
