Leflunomide, a medication used primarily to treat rheumatoid arthritis, can have several potential problems. Common side effects include diarrhea, elevated liver enzymes, and alopecia. More serious risks involve liver damage, teratogenic effects (risk of birth defects), and immunosuppression, which can increase susceptibility to infections. Regular monitoring of liver function and blood counts is often recommended to mitigate these risks.
