What is Arava (leflunomide) and why does its price vary?
Arava is a brand-name prescription drug (leflunomide) used to treat rheumatoid arthritis and psoriatic arthritis. The “Arava price” people see depends on the product strength (tablet dose), pack size, location, and whether you’re paying cash or using insurance/assistance.
What should you check before comparing Arava prices?
When comparing prices, look for:
- Tablet strength (for example, 10 mg vs 20 mg vs 100 mg loading regimens)
- Quantity in the bottle (number of tablets)
- Pharmacy pricing and whether a generic version is available for your dose/strength
If you’re comparing online listings, also check whether the price is a cash price or an insured copay.
Is there a generic leflunomide, and how does that affect Arava cost?
If your goal is the lowest price, you generally want to check whether a generic leflunomide option is available at your dose/strength. Where a generic exists and is covered, it often brings the out-of-pocket cost down compared with the brand.
