that recommendation is not universal and its prescription is often covered in shared care arrangements. I note your mtrac publication was 1999 when leflunomide was a fairly new drug.

We decided to throw the problem (of leflunomide in this case) back to
the JPC - who decided that there was insufficient use of this to make
issuing a shared care protocol necessary!!
Quite right - this is not a Rx for shared care, you shouldn't be prescribing
it at all! See www.mtrac.co.uk
