Résumé

Activated charcoal binds leflunomide's active metabolite teriflunomide and interrupts its enterohepatic recirculation, lowering levels. This effect is used deliberately in leflunomide washout and would reduce therapeutic effect during routine treatment.

Ce que signifie cette interaction, en termes simples

Charcoal and Leflunomide can affect each other. The combination is often manageable, but it may need a change of dose, a change of timing, or extra checks while both are taken.

Charcoal belongs to Gastrointestinal Tract; Leflunomide belongs to Musculoskeletal.

Niveau de preuve: Moderate

Pourquoi elle survient

Charcoal adsorbs the drug in the gut and interrupts enterohepatic recycling of teriflunomide.

Conduite à tenir

Avoid routine charcoal use during leflunomide therapy, or separate dosing by several hours. Use charcoal intentionally only for drug elimination.
