⚠️ FDA Boxed Warning — the FDA’s strongest safety alert ▾
This medication carries two serious FDA boxed warnings — the most serious type of warning the FDA can require.
Liver damage: Teriflunomide has caused severe liver injury, including acute liver failure requiring transplant, in some patients after the drug was approved. This can happen at any time during treatment. If you develop symptoms like yellowing skin or eyes, dark urine, unusual fatigue, nausea, vomiting, or stomach pain, contact your doctor immediately. Your liver function must be tested before you start and checked monthly for the first six months. Using other medications that are hard on the liver at the same time raises your risk further. People with severe liver disease must not take this drug.
Risk to unborn babies: Teriflunomide can cause birth defects and fetal death. Women who are pregnant or who might become pregnant must not take this medication unless they are using effective contraception. A pregnancy test is required before starting. Because the drug stays in the body for a very long time (up to two years without special treatment), effective birth control must continue even after stopping — until blood tests confirm the drug has cleared. If you become pregnant while taking teriflunomide, stop it immediately and contact your doctor to begin an elimination procedure. Men who want to father a child should also speak to their doctor about stopping the drug and clearing it from their system.
📖 Teriflunomide: Patient Information Guide
A plain-language walkthrough of Teriflunomide — what it treats, how it works, how it’s taken, side effects, warnings and interactions. Tap any section to expand it.
🎯What it's used for▾
Teriflunomide tablets are approved for adults with relapsing forms of multiple sclerosis (MS). This covers several distinct MS presentations:
- Clinically isolated syndrome (CIS) — a first episode of neurological symptoms that may be a sign of MS
- Relapsing-remitting MS — the most common pattern, with defined attacks followed by recovery periods
- Active secondary progressive MS — a later phase of the disease that still shows relapses or new MRI activity
Aubagio (the brand-name film-coated tablet) and generic teriflunomide film-coated and uncoated tablets all carry this same indication for adults.
⚙️How it works▾
Teriflunomide is an immunomodulatory agent — meaning it adjusts how the immune system behaves rather than shutting it down completely. It works by blocking a mitochondrial enzyme called dihydroorotate dehydrogenase (DHODH), which activated immune cells (lymphocytes) need to make new copies of themselves. By limiting this process, teriflunomide reduces the number of overactive immune cells that can travel to the brain and spinal cord and trigger the inflammation that drives MS relapses. The exact sequence of events that leads to benefit in MS isn't fully mapped out, but reducing these activated lymphocytes in the central nervous system is thought to be the key mechanism.
💊How it's taken▾
Teriflunomide tablets are taken once a day by mouth. They can be taken with or without food — eating does not meaningfully change how the drug is absorbed. Your prescriber will choose the appropriate strength for you. Because the drug builds up in the body slowly and takes about three months to reach a stable level, consistency matters — try to take it at the same time each day. Follow your prescriber's and pharmacist's instructions on what to do if you miss a dose.
🤒Side effects — in detail▾
The most commonly reported side effects in clinical trials included:
- Headache
- Diarrhea
- Nausea
- Hair thinning or hair loss (alopecia)
- Elevated liver enzymes (ALT) on blood tests
- Tingling or numbness (paresthesia)
- Joint pain (arthralgia)
- Low neutrophil count (neutropenia)
- High blood pressure (hypertension)
More serious reactions — including severe liver injury, dangerous skin reactions, serious infections, and interstitial lung disease — have also been reported. Contact your doctor promptly if you develop jaundice (yellowing of skin or eyes), a widespread rash, signs of infection, or breathing difficulties.
⚠️Warnings & precautions▾
- Liver injury (hepatotoxicity): Severe and potentially fatal liver damage, including cases requiring transplant, has been reported. Liver tests must be done before starting and monitored monthly for the first six months. People with pre-existing liver disease or those on other liver-affecting drugs face higher risk. Stop the drug and contact your doctor immediately if liver-related symptoms appear.
- Harm to unborn babies (embryofetal toxicity): Teriflunomide causes birth defects and fetal death in animal studies at levels lower than those in humans. It is contraindicated in pregnancy. Reliable contraception is essential during treatment and until blood levels are confirmed safe after stopping.
- Bone marrow suppression and infection risk: The drug can lower white blood cell and platelet counts. Patients should be screened for tuberculosis before starting, and treatment should be withheld during active infections.
- Serious skin reactions: Rare but life-threatening skin conditions (Stevens-Johnson syndrome, toxic epidermal necrolysis, DRESS syndrome) have been reported. Stop the drug and seek care immediately for severe rash or blistering.
- Blood pressure increase: Blood pressure should be measured before and regularly during treatment.
- Peripheral neuropathy: Nerve damage causing numbness or weakness has occurred. Report new symptoms to your doctor promptly.
- Interstitial lung disease: Inflammation or scarring of the lungs has been reported. Tell your doctor about new or worsening breathing symptoms.
🔀What it interacts with▾
Teriflunomide affects how several other drugs are processed by the body — always give your pharmacist and doctor a full medication list before starting. Key interactions include:
- Leflunomide (Arava): Absolutely cannot be combined — teriflunomide is the active form of leflunomide, and using both creates dangerously high levels
- Warfarin: Teriflunomide can reduce warfarin's blood-thinning effect by about 25% — close monitoring of INR (clotting test) is required
- Rosuvastatin (Crestor): Teriflunomide significantly raises rosuvastatin levels; the daily dose of rosuvastatin must not exceed 10 mg
- Other statins (atorvastatin, pravastatin, simvastatin) and nateglinide: Levels may be increased — dose reduction and close monitoring may be needed
- Repaglinide, pioglitazone, rosiglitazone, paclitaxel (CYP2C8 substrates): Teriflunomide raises their blood levels — monitoring and possible dose adjustment required
- Duloxetine, theophylline, tizanidine, alosetron (CYP1A2 substrates): Teriflunomide may reduce their effectiveness — monitoring and possible dose adjustment required
- Certain antibiotics and other OAT3-cleared drugs (ciprofloxacin, methotrexate, furosemide, penicillin G, zidovudine, cefaclor, ketoprofen, cimetidine): Teriflunomide may raise their levels — monitor for increased effects or side effects
- Oral contraceptives: Teriflunomide can increase hormone levels of some contraceptives — discuss which birth control method to use with your doctor
This is not a complete list of interactions. Always talk with your doctor or pharmacist before starting, stopping, or changing any medication.
📋Before taking it▾
- Severe liver disease: Teriflunomide is contraindicated — do not use if you have severe hepatic impairment
- Pregnancy: Contraindicated — do not take if you are pregnant; a negative pregnancy test is required before starting
- Women who can become pregnant: Effective contraception is mandatory during treatment and until blood levels are confirmed safe after stopping
- Men planning to father a child: The drug is found in semen; men should discuss stopping the drug and using an accelerated elimination procedure with their doctor
- Pre-existing liver disease: Increases the risk of liver injury — discuss with your doctor before starting
- Current leflunomide use: Cannot be combined — leflunomide is converted to teriflunomide in the body
- Allergy to teriflunomide or leflunomide: Do not take if you have had a hypersensitivity reaction (anaphylaxis, angioedema, serious skin reaction) to either drug
- Active infections or tuberculosis: TB screening required before starting; treatment should not begin during active infections
- Breastfeeding: Not recommended — the drug may harm a nursing infant
- Children and adolescents: Safety and effectiveness have not been established in pediatric patients
- Older adults (over 65): Clinical studies did not include patients over 65; use with caution and discuss with your doctor
- Mild or moderate kidney or liver impairment: No dose adjustment needed, but inform your doctor of any kidney or liver conditions
🚑If you take too much▾
There is no documented experience with teriflunomide overdose in humans. In studies, healthy subjects tolerated higher-than-recommended daily doses for up to two weeks without serious problems. In the event of a significant overdose, the recommended approach is to use cholestyramine or activated charcoal to speed up elimination of the drug from the body — the same procedure used when the drug needs to be cleared quickly for other reasons.
📡Pharmacodynamics — effects in the body▾
In a clinical study in healthy adults, teriflunomide did not meaningfully prolong the QT interval (the heart's electrical recovery time) at the doses studied — meaning it is not expected to cause dangerous heart rhythm changes through that mechanism. Its main measurable effect on the immune system is a reduction in activated white blood cells (lymphocytes and neutrophils) circulating in the bloodstream, which was observed in clinical trials with decreases in white blood cell and platelet counts during treatment.
🔬Pharmacokinetics — how your body processes it▾
After an oral dose, teriflunomide reaches peak blood levels within one to four hours, and food does not meaningfully affect absorption. It binds very tightly to blood proteins (over 99%) and is mainly distributed in the bloodstream rather than throughout body tissues. The drug has a very long half-life — about 18 to 19 days — meaning it stays in the body for a long time; it takes roughly three months of daily dosing to reach a stable level. Teriflunomide is cleared mainly through the bile into stool and through the kidneys into urine, and without a special elimination procedure (using cholestyramine or activated charcoal), it can take on average eight months — and up to two years — to fall to very low levels after stopping.
📦How to store it▾
Store at 68°F to 77°F (20°C to 25°C) with excursions permitted between 59°F and 86°F (15°C and 30°C).

📈 What people report — real-world data (FDA FAERS)
After a medicine reaches the market, patients, doctors and drugmakers can send the FDA reports of problems they think may be linked to it. Here’s what’s been reported for Teriflunomide — a signal of what to watch for, not proof the drug caused it.
Source: openFDA, from the FDA Adverse Event Reporting System (FAERS). These are voluntary reports — they don’t prove the drug caused the effect, and counts reflect how often something was reported, not how often it actually happens. Reports also often name the very problem the medicine is taken for — a common reason to file one is that the drug didn’t help — so for a pain reliever you may see “pain” high on the list; that points to why the report was filed, not to the drug causing the symptom. This counts every report that lists Teriflunomide in any role, so the total runs higher than the FDA’s official dashboard, which counts only cases where the drug is the suspect. For the authoritative figures, see the FDA FAERS Public Dashboard. Always talk to your pharmacist or doctor.

How we combine label and product data
HelloPharmacist combines public FDA and NLM records; we don’t author the underlying clinical facts. We identified 16 FDA-filed SPL label sets within the page’s selected clinical scope after exact ingredient or ingredient-combination matching and applicable route/form matching. The representative label is the starting point for the displayed reference monograph; the 12 largest stored in-scope SPL records, which may include that representative, are compared section by section, and the longest available version of each section is retained. Forms, routes, brands, labelers, product-listed strengths, and product-record counts are aggregated separately from ingredient-matched FDA NDC Directory records; package records listed above are associated with the linked SPL; and the normalized concept hierarchy comes from NLM RxNorm.
For canonical ingredient pages, bounded product-attributed indication and administration excerpts may be added to the AI evidence, and the generator is instructed to preserve available product, brand, route, and form qualifiers instead of treating one label as universal. Where a section is identified as AI-written, its plain-language text is generated from bounded label evidence. New draft drug pages remain in the admin review queue before first publication. Genzyme Corporation is the representative DailyMed label linked for verification and dates; it is not the sole source used for the page.
