leflunomide


Read all of this leaflet carefully before you start taking this medicine because it contains important information for you.


Leflunomide Zentiva can occasionally cause some problems with your blood, liver, lungs, or nerves in your arms or legs. It may also cause some serious allergic reactions (including Drug Reaction with Eosinophilia and Systemic Symptoms [DRESS]), or increase the chance of a severe infection. For more information on these, please read section 4 (Possible side effects).


DRESS appears initially as flu-like symptoms and a rash on the face then an extended rash with a high temperature, increased levels of liver enzymes seen in blood tests and an increase in a type of white blood cell (eosinophilia) and enlarged lymph nodes.


Your doctor will carry out blood tests at regular intervals, before and during treatment with Leflunomide Zentiva, to monitor your blood cells and liver. Your doctor will also check your blood pressure regularly as Leflunomide Zentiva can cause an increase in blood pressure.


Tell your doctor if you have unexplained chronic diarrhoea. Your doctor may perform additional tests for differential diagnosis.


Tell your doctor if you develop skin ulcer during treatment with Leflunomide Zentiva (see also section 4).

Leflunomide Zentiva is not recommended for use in children and adolescents below 18 years of age.
