Arava (Ah-RAY-va, leflunomide), a new disease-modifying drug for rheumatoid arthritis
October 1998
Hoechst is now shipping Arava (Ah-RAY-va, leflunomide), a new disease-modifying drug for rheumatoid arthritis.
Arava relieves pain and swelling...and slows joint damage. It works by inhibiting the production of immune cells that attack the joints.
It's as effective as methotrexate or sulfasalazine.
