This drug stops certain immune cells, called T-cells and B-cells, from becoming overactive, which prevents inflammation and tissue damage throughout the body. Vets often give this medicine along with prednisone or other drugs to help dogs get better faster and allow them to take fewer steroids over time. Using this medication can lead to much better long-term control of difficult autoimmune diseases.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eBenefits\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eImmune Regulation\u003c\/strong\u003e: Helps control abnormal immune responses by inhibiting T-cell and B-cell production, reducing inflammation and tissue damage.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSteroid Reduction: \u003c\/strong\u003eThis medicine helps dogs that are sensitive to steroids get off prednisone faster so they can avoid the bad side effects.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCombination Therapy: \u003c\/strong\u003eThis drug works well with other immune-suppressing medicines to help your pet recover more effectively from immune-mediated diseases.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eImproved Longevity: \u003c\/strong\u003eUsing this treatment early on can help pets live longer and makes it less likely for diseases like GME to come back.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eVersatile Treatment\u003c\/strong\u003e: Used for multiple immune-mediated conditions including IMHA, ITP, and rheumatoid arthritis in dogs.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eIngredients\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLeflunomide\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHow to Use\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRecommended-Dosage Chart\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003ctable style=\"width: 49.8685%; height: 55px;\"\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"height: 35.5966px;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd width=\"54\" style=\"width: 9.54027%; height: 35.5966px;\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePet\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd width=\"94\" style=\"width: 16.5605%; height: 35.5966px;\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd width=\"432\" style=\"width: 73.0821%; height: 35.5966px;\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDosage\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"height: 35.5966px;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd width=\"54\" style=\"width: 9.54027%; height: 35.5966px;\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDogs\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd width=\"94\" style=\"width: 16.5605%; height: 35.5966px;\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAll weights\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd width=\"432\" style=\"width: 73.0821%; height: 35.5966px;\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e2–4 mg\/kg once daily\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"height: 35.5966px;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd width=\"54\" style=\"width: 9.54027%; height: 35.5966px;\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCats\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd width=\"94\" style=\"width: 16.5605%; height: 35.5966px;\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAll weights\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd width=\"432\" style=\"width: 73.0821%; height: 35.5966px;\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e2 mg\/kg once daily (~10 mg\/cat), then reduce to every other day\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDosage \u0026amp; Administration Instructions\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight-Based Dosing: \u003c\/strong\u003eGive dogs 2–4 mg\/kg of the medicine once a day, based on their weight and how they are doing.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCat Adjustment: \u003c\/strong\u003eStart giving cats the medicine every day, then switch to every other day after the first part of the treatment is done.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBlood Monitoring: \u003c\/strong\u003eHave your vet check the medicine levels in your pet’s blood 10–14 days after starting to see if the dose needs to be changed.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFlexible Feeding: \u003c\/strong\u003eYou can give this medicine to your pet with or without food, depending on how they handle it and what your vet says.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePrescription Required: \u003c\/strong\u003eYou must have a valid prescription from a vet before you can buy or give this medication.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHandling Safety: \u003c\/strong\u003eYou need to wear gloves when touching this medicine because it is toxic and can cause serious reproductive harm.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDisclaimer: \u003c\/strong\u003eThis dosage information is provided by the manufacturer.

It helps control abnormal immune responses by suppressing immune cell activity, often used alone or alongside other immunosuppressive therapies for better clinical outcomes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eQ2: How does Leflunomide work in pets?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAns:\u003c\/strong\u003e Leflunomide works by stopping certain immune cells, called T-cells and B-cells, from multiplying and becoming overactive. By slowing these cells down, the drug helps prevent the inflammation and tissue damage that happens when a dog or cat’s immune system starts attacking its own body.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eQ3: What are the common side effects of Leflunomide in dogs?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAns:\u003c\/strong\u003e Common side effects from this medicine include your pet not wanting to eat, throwing up, having diarrhea, or acting very tired. In some cases, it can also lower their blood cell counts or cause skin problems. You should have your vet check your pet regularly so they can catch and handle any of these issues early on during the treatment.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eQ4: Can Leflunomide be given with other medications?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAns:\u003c\/strong\u003e Leflunomide is often given along with other immune-suppressing drugs, like prednisone, to help your pet get better. Since some of these drug combinations haven't been fully tested yet, you must follow your vet's instructions exactly when giving your pet more than one medicine at a time.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eQ5: Are there any precautions when handling Leflunomide tablets?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAns:\u003c\/strong\u003e You must handle Leflunomide with care and wear gloves whenever you give it to your pet. This drug carries a high risk of causing birth defects, so anyone who is pregnant should avoid touching it entirely. You should also never give this medication to a pregnant animal or any pet that has severe kidney problems.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Varies (Generic)","offers":[{"title":"1 tablet","offer_id":43334610944161,"sku":"191.49300.3-1","price":2.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true},{"title":"30 tablets","offer_id":43334610976929,"sku":"191.49300.3","price":51.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0593\/2446\/5313\/files\/leflunomide-10mg-tablets-manufacturer-may-vary-pet-medicine-859.png?v=1777936832","url":"https:\/\/hordypaw.shop\/en-ca\/products\/leflunomide-tablets-10mg","provider":"HardyPaw","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
