Leflunomide comes in the form of a tablet. Usually, you will need to swallow one tablet each day. It may be taken with or without food. Most likely, you will be instructed to take a larger dose for the first three days of taking leflunomide. Follow your doctor's instructions exactly. Do not take more or less medication than what was prescribed for you.
