Abstract
Rheumatoid arthritis is an auto immune disorder that primarily affects joints. The disease causes sewere inflammation of joints,painful joints ;also causes Inflammation around lungs and heart.

About 38,000 deaths are reported in the year 2013. Leflunomide is a immuno suppresive disease modifying anti rheumatic drug that show its activity by inhibiting the mitochondrial enzyme ;Di hydro rotatateDehydrogenase .hence leflunomide inhibits reproduction of rapidly dividing cells,Especially lymphocytes. Here we are preparing leflunomide solid dispersion form that enhances its soulubility and dissolution rate.
