Is Pill With Le10 And Apo On Sides And Bigger Pill With 93 And 173 Be Same As Leflunomide?

I take leflunomide for RA. Kaiser sent me a refill with two different looking pills. Small one with le 10 on one side and other side apo on other side. The other pill is a bigger pill with 93 on one side and 173 on the other side. Something wrong with this?

Hi & Welcome.
Yes, both these pills contain the drug Leflunomide.

The small pill having an imprint of le 10 and apo on sides and bigger pill having an imprint of 93 and 173 contain the same drug Leflunomide which is commonly prescribed in the treatment of rheumatoid arthritis.

Further, both these pills are round in shape, white in color and have a strength of 10 mg each. So, there's nothing to worry about, as either of these may be taken as prescribed by your doctor.

Best regards.
