Arava Sensitivity and Medications for Arthritis

Although all prescription drug medications contain a long list of side effects, Arava (leflunomide) seems to have the most serious warnings and side effects. The death rate of patients using Arava is 33 times higher than its drug medication competitor Methotrexate. The Public Citizen action group filed a petition to the Federal Drug Administration requesting the immediate ban of Arava stating; "With a variety of better drug treatments available, there is no reason to subject patients to an accumulating list of added risks. (Arava) should be promptly removed from the market."

A letter from the Public Citizen's Health Research Group, sent in conjunction with the Public Citizen petition, stated; "To have this many deaths and severe reactions over such a short time is truly disturbing. When there are other treatments that are more effective and don't endanger patients as much as this drug, there is absolutely no reason for the FDA to keep Arava on the market."

Eliminate Arthritis Pain Immediately

The European Agency for the Evaluation of Medical Products issued Arava warnings in 2001 to doctors and patients citing nine liver failure deaths in Arava patients. Also in 2001, Arava manufacturer Aventis Pharmaceuticals issued Arava warnings to doctors.

MSNBC reported in 2002 that Arava was linked to 12 liver failure deaths. If prescribing Arava, your doctor will test liver function before starting Arava and will continue monthly blood tests for an extended period after starting Arava.

Arava can also lower resistance to infections and can make infections harder to treat. Arava can suppress the immune system. While taking Arava, avoid immunization shots with live vaccines. Avoid exposure to chickenpox and measles while taking Arava.

People seeking arthritis pain relief should carefully evaluate Arava information and side effects before deciding to take Arava. It is important to note that Arava treats the pain of osteoarthritis but does not address the cause of osteoarthritis or work to improve the physical condition.

Arthritin, a safe and effective arthritis treatment, works to rehabilitate cartilage, relieve pain and strengthen the immune system - all without potentially harmful side effects commonly associated with NSAIDs.
