Swelling of the legs can be a side effect of leflunomide, so it is important to report this symptom to your doctor. You should not stop the therapy yourself, but it is necessary to have your health assessed by a specialist, who can decide on further treatment or a possible change in the dose.
I encourage you to report the symptoms you experience to your doctor, as well as to report the occurrence of adverse reactions to the preparation. Reporting side effects allows you to increase control over commercially available medicines. We wrote more about how and why to report side effects in the article:

Edema may indicate fluid retention or other complications that require monitoring and possible medical intervention. Regular check-ups and consultations with your doctor are crucial when using Leflunomide.
