Rumalef 10 Tablet

Rumalef 10 Tablet contains leflunomide 10 mg in each tablet. It is an immunomodulating disease-modifying antirheumatic drug (DMARD) used to treat rheumatoid arthritis and help reduce joint swelling, pain, and damage. Rumalef 10 Tablet is taken by mouth and is usually prescribed as part of a long-term treatment plan rather than for quick pain relief.

How it works: Leflunomide works by slowing down certain immune cells that drive inflammation in rheumatoid arthritis. As a tablet, Rumalef 10 Tablet is swallowed and absorbed through the digestive tract, then the medicine helps reduce the immune attack that causes joint damage over time.

Rumalef 10 Tablet is the 10 mg tablet strength, which is commonly used when a doctor wants a lower maintenance dose or a more cautious dose adjustment. Because leflunomide works gradually and stays in the body for a long time, this strength may be chosen for people who need a smaller tablet dose than higher-strength options. It is not meant for self-starting or occasional use.
