My father in law was just prescribed this med but I am very concerned about some of the side effects listed. Mainly the possibility of suppressing the immune system to such an extent. I would like to know how others who have been put on this med have done and if there is a med that works better.
What can people who are on Arava tell me about their side effects & if there is a better drug?
