There are several DMARDs and biologics used to manage rheumatoid arthritis. Here’s how leflunomide compares:
| Medication | Type | Key differences |
| Leflunomide | Conventional DMARD | Oral; effective but requires liver and CBC monitoring and pregnancy precautions |
| Methotrexate | Conventional DMARD | First-line option; often used in combination with other RA meds |
| Hydroxychloroquine | Antimalarial/DMARD | More effective in reducing proteinuria, requires liver, ECG and CBC monitoring |
| Humira (adalimumab) | Biologic (TNF-a inhibitor) | Injectable; faster-acting, more expensive, higher infection risk |
Leflunomide is often used for patients who prefer once-daily dosing, as it has comparable efficacy to other DMARDs without needing multiple doses a day. However, it has a long half-life, meaning it stays in the body for a long time, potentially leading to side effects that can persist even after treatment ends.
