I
have moderate rheumatoid arthritis and was on methotrexate in the past. I could
not tolerate the drug. Is there something else I can take?
Yes,
you can ask your doctor for either lefunomide or sulfasalazine. They both work
but lefunomide is slightly more potent than sulfasalazine. Lefunomide is also
associated with more adverse effects and is also more expensive. Before you are
prescribed lefunomide, make sure you are told every detail about this
medication.
