I take the generic, Leflunomide. From what my rheummy told me it is one of the lesser aggressive RA drugs. At this time I also take Methotrexate (5 MG) once weekly. The side effects are about the same as the MTX, hair loss, diarrea, nausea, headachs, etc. I do have all of these but not to the point that I can not function. I also take Folic Acid (2 MG) daily to help with the side effects. She doesn't expect the Arava to help me but we must play the insurance game before they will approve the more expensive treatments. I don't know if this helps. Shirley Explore your hobbies and interests. Go to http://in.promos./groups/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
