I have been on it for over 2 years with no reactions, except if I spend to much time in the sun I will get a rash

I use arava in conjunction with my biologic Humira. I am also taking anti inflammatory Daypro and plaquenil. I seem to have leveled out, but still have flares from time to time when i over do it. I am a very active person with a high pain tolerance, so sometimes I do too much. I am not take any kind of pain medication but over the counter tylenol

My RA doc prescribed that med but I had side effects - rashes all over my body -she had to take me off of it- I'm now taking sulfasalazine 6 pills a day I thank God I'm on it now for almost 8 wks without any side effects- I wish you the best. God Bless

I was prescribed with Leflunomide but I had bad reactions - I only took it for a week and I had rashes all over my body so my RA stopped me from taking it. Now i'm on Sulfasalazine 4 pills daily going on now about 6 weeks. It's this trial and error kind of thing -

it is not a pain med. I am not sure how it works but together with my other meds its does a great job
