What is Arava?

Arava is a brand-name prescription drug used to treat active rheumatoid arthritis, a condition in which the body's immune system mistakenly attacks cells in the joints, causing swelling, stiffness, and pain.

The first line of attack in rheumatoid arthritis is white blood cells called lymphocytes, which produce antibodies. These proteins attach to cells and paint a target on them so that other white blood cells can gather and destroy them. The active ingredient in Arava, leflunomide, interferes with the ability of lymphocytes to get enough energy to reproduce themselves and produce enough antibodies to attack joint tissues successfully.

Arava is administered as a tablet once daily.

What are the side effects of Arava?
