Lefutyle 10 Tablet contains Leflunomide 10mg, an immunomodulatory drug primarily used in the treatment of autoimmune diseases. Leflunomide works by suppressing the immune system, particularly targeting the rapid division of inflammatory cells that are responsible for conditions like rheumatoid arthritis. This helps reduce inflammation, swelling, and pain associated with the condition.
Lefutyle 10 Tablet is mainly prescribed for the management of rheumatoid arthritis and other autoimmune disorders where the immune system attacks healthy cells, leading to inflammation and damage to joints or organs. It is also sometimes used for psoriatic arthritis and ankylosing spondylitis.
In addition to its anti-inflammatory benefits, Leflunomide can help slow down disease progression, reduce joint damage, and improve the quality of life for patients with these chronic conditions.
Leflunomide inhibits the activity of a specific enzyme that plays a key role in the production of pyrimidine nucleotides, which are essential for the proliferation of activated lymphocytes (a type of immune cell). By doing so, Leflunomide helps to control the abnormal immune response in autoimmune diseases.
