Guest guest Posted May 27, 2006 Report Share Posted May 27, 2006 I did well on the MTX and Arava combo for awhile....it does take the Arava (leufonimide) a few weeks to start working, so give it a chance. This lasted for me about a year, and then I had to move onto Enbrel. Best of luck! I hope that it gives you good relief.

Today rheumatologist added 20mgs ofLeflunomid the generic of Arava and I'll be seeing him again in a month.His preference for me is Embril (SPL?)but from what I understood he needs togo through a process of elimination in order for the insurance to cover it.Any of you on this combination of meds (MTX & Arava)? Is it working? Iappreciate your feedback. (in MA) "Have no fear for what tomorrow may bring. The same loving God who cares for you today will take care of you tomorrow and every day.
