CompositionLefra-10 Tablet is used to manage active rheumatoid arthritis and psoriatic arthritis in adults. Unlike simple pain relievers, it works to slow disease progression and help reduce the risk of joint damage and bone erosion. By controlling the underlying autoimmune response, it helps reduce morning stiffness, joint pain, and swelling, improving quality of life.
This medication contains Leflunomide, which belongs to the class of disease-modifying antirheumatic medicines (DMARDs). It works by inhibiting an enzyme necessary for the proliferation of specific immune cells (T-lymphocytes) that cause inflammation in the joints. By reducing this overactive immune response, it helps limit damage to cartilage and bone.
Take this tablet once daily at the same time, with or without food, as prescribed by your doctor. It may take several weeks or even months to feel the full benefits of the treatment. Your doctor will require regular blood tests to monitor your liver function and blood cell counts. Inform your healthcare provider immediately if you are planning a pregnancy, as this medicine can be harmful to an unborn baby.
