Aubagio is a medication used to treat various types of Multiple Sclerosis (MS) including Relapse/Remitting, Clinically Isolated Syndrome and Secondary Progressive.

It's mechanism of action revolves around blocking pyrimidine synthesis which basically means it helps lower inflammation.

Interestingly, Aubagio is the active metabolite of the drug Arava (leflunomide). That means that Arava is broken down into Aubagio. So their side effect profiles are similar.

Speaking of which when you take Aubagio you'll want to watch out for side effects including low phosphate levels, headache, diarrhea and hair loss.

Your doctor will monitor your labs pretty closely as well. So you'll need to have a CBC (Complete Blood Count) and a TB (Tuberculosis) test. You'll also need to keep an eye on your immune system and liver function.

The manufacturer of Aubagio does offer various forms of financial assistance. You can learn more here: https://www.aubagio.com/cost
