Arava® Dosage

Tweet

Take Arava exactly as prescribed by your doctor. Do not take it in larger amounts or for longer than recommended. Follow the directions on your prescription label.

Arava Update: On July 13, 2010, The U.S Food & Drug Administration (FDA) required the manufacturers of Arava to add a “Black Box Warning” to the package insert.  This is the most serious warning that the FDA requires and was added because of an increased risk of severe liver injury.
