Medicine Activity

Rumalef 10 Tablet contains leflunomide (10 mg), and it acts in the body in the following ways:

• Dihydroorotate Dehydrogenase Inhibition: Leflunomide acts to block an enzyme in your body called dihydroorotate dehydrogenase. This enzyme is essential for the production of pyrimidines, the building blocks of DNA and RNA.

• Reduction of Lymphocyte Proliferation: By inhibiting the synthesis of pyrimidines, leflunomide prevents the multiplication of activated lymphocytes, a type of white blood cell. Lymphocytes play a major role in the immune response that causes inflammation in rheumatoid and psoriatic arthritis.
