Aubagio Dosages for Multiple Sclerosis: Your GoodRx Guide

Aubagio (teriflunomide) is an oral, prescription-only medication used to treat certain types of multiple sclerosis (MS). It works on specific immune cells to help reduce inflammation. 

You’ll likely receive Aubagio from a specialty pharmacy that can walk you through how to take it.  But it can be helpful to have a guide on hand, in case you need a quick refresher on the basics. For example, what happens if you miss your dose or take too much by accident? Below, we discuss what to do in these situations and review typical Aubagio dosages.

What’s the typical Aubagio dosage?

The typical Aubagio dosage for MS is simple: either 7 mg or 14 mg by mouth once daily. Your healthcare provider will determine which dosage is right for you.

Aubagio is available as 7 mg and 14 mg tablets. You can take Aubagio with or without food, at any time of day. But you should try to take it around the same time every day.

Are there any dosage adjustments for medical conditions or interactions?

There aren't any recommended Aubagio dosage adjustments for people who have kidney problems. However, Aubagio should typically be avoided by people who have liver problems, since the medication can cause liver damage as a side effect.

Aubagio can also affect how your body breaks down other medications. In some cases, your healthcare provider may need to adjust the dosage of another medication you’re taking in combination with Aubagio. So it’s important to share your current medication list with your provider, to allow them to screen for potential interactions ahead of time.

What happens if you miss a dose of Aubagio?

If you forget to take your Aubagio dose, follow your healthcare provider’s instructions about what to do next. You may be told to skip the missed dose and take your next dose at the regularly scheduled time. Never double your dose to make up for a missed one.

If you find yourself regularly missing your Aubagio dose, your pharmacist can help you come up with ways to remember to take the medication. You can also try a medication reminder app or medication organizer (pillbox).

What should you do if you take too much Aubagio?

There isn’t much information available about what can happen if you take too much Aubagio. But it could increase your risk of new or worsening side effects, such as liver problems.

If you think you may have taken too much Aubagio, contact your healthcare provider or Poison Control at 1-800-222-1222 for guidance. In some cases of severe toxicity, people are given treatments to remove Aubagio from the body.

How to save on Aubagio

Aubagio is available as both a brand-name and generic medication. With a GoodRx coupon, the price of generic Aubagio may be as low as $32.24 at certain pharmacies. You may also be able to pay as little as $0 for brand-name Aubagio if you’re eligible for a copay savings program or patient assistance program from the manufacturer.
