Important information about Aubagio
How does Aubagio work?
The active ingredient in Aubagio is teriflunomide. Multiple sclerosis causes the body’s immune system to attack its own central nervous system (the brain and spinal cord), resulting in nerve damage. Aubagio is a pyrimidine synthesis inhibitor. It reduces the number of lymphocytes, a type of white blood cell found in bone marrow involved in the inflammation process of the central nervous system. By slowing down the inflammation process, Aubagio reduces the number of relapses related to forms of multiple sclerosis.
How do you use Aubagio?
Follow all directions given to you by your doctor and read all documents provided, including the full Prescribing Information, FDA-Approved Product Labeling, Instructions for Use, and Medication Guide before using Aubagio. However, the following is a synopsis of the general guidelines for the use of Aubagio:
- Aubagio can be taken orally with or without food. You will require frequent blood tests as teriflunomide can lower blood cell counts. Your blood pressure will also need to be checked regularly
- After treatment with Aubagio is stopped, your doctor may prescribe medications such as cholestyramine or activated charcoal to help speed up the removal of teriflunomide from your body
- If you can become pregnant, a pregnancy test should be conducted before starting this medication. Be sure to consult your healthcare provider if you are trying to become pregnant as Aubagio may cause harm to your unborn baby

Boxed Warning
Serious and potentially life-threatening liver injury and liver failure that could require a transplant, have been reported in patients treated with Aubagio once it came onto the market. Using it with other medications that can cause liver injury increases this risk. Certain liver enzyme and liver function tests should be performed within 6 months before starting Aubagio and at least monthly for 6 months. If liver injury from Aubagio is suspected, stop treatment and begin an accelerated elimination procedure with cholestyramine or activated charcoal.
Birth defects and fetal death occurred in animals given Aubagio. Because of this, a pregnancy test should be given to rule out pregnancy before beginning treatment with Aubagio. Females should also use effective contraception while on Aubagio if they can become pregnant. If the patient becomes pregnant while on Aubagio, it should be stopped, and an accelerated elimination procedure should be started.
