Dear Vishal!

❝ [...] whether leflunomide tablets are available in extended release.


I don't think so.
Note: if you want to submit to the FDA, only the metabolite A77 1726 should be measured.

 leflunomide extended release

Dear Vishal,

Leflunomide presents a half life of 11 days. Due to this long half life a modified release formulation is not necessary.

 Reasonability of MR formulations

Dear Daniel!

❝ [...] Due this long half life a modified release formulation is not necessary.


Exactly. But not everything in the world of big pharma is driven by science. :angry: I once came across a drug, where the innovator got his first market authorization with a modified release formulation despite a half-live of two days. Obviously this was just done to make the life of generic companies miserable (it’s much more difficult to demonstrate BE of an MR formulation).
