Description
Cara 10mg Tablets contain Leflunomide, a disease-modifying antirheumatic drug (DMARD) prescribed for the treatment of active rheumatoid arthritis (RA) in adults. By inhibiting dihydroorotate dehydrogenase (DHODH), an enzyme essential for pyrimidine synthesis in rapidly dividing immune cells, Leflunomide suppresses the overactive autoimmune response responsible for joint inflammation and tissue destruction.
Unlike conventional pain relievers that only mask symptoms, Cara 10mg works at the disease level — reducing joint swelling, morning stiffness, and tenderness while slowing the radiographic progression of joint damage. This helps preserve mobility and improves patients' ability to perform daily activities over the long term.
Regular blood tests including liver function tests (LFTs) and complete blood count (CBC) are required during therapy. Cara 10mg is contraindicated in pregnancy due to teratogenicity, and effective contraception must be used during treatment and for an extended washout period after stopping.
A valid prescription is required. Order at Derma.pk with nationwide delivery across Pakistan, or contact us at sales@derma.pk / WhatsApp +92-320-5999650.
