Leflunomide is a drug with immunomodulating effects used in the treatment of autoimmune diseases. This component helps to suppress the excessive activation of the immune system, thereby reducing inflammatory responses. It is mainly used for chronic inflammatory diseases like rheumatoid arthritis.
Leflunomide reduces excessive immune responses by inhibiting the proliferation and activation of immune cells. This alleviates inflammation and prevents tissue damage. It regulates autoimmune responses by blocking specific enzymes in the immune system.
Approved uses differ by product. Check each product's information for its actual use.
Unlike other immunosuppressants, Leflunomide has a unique mechanism of action that inhibits pyrimidine synthesis. This selectively suppresses the proliferation of immune cells, resulting in a different side effect profile. The modified formulation reduces particle size to enhance bioavailability.
