Literature evidence substantiates the use of mycophenolate in managing RA (Goldblum R 1993). But, nowadays it is more often used for treating extra-articular features, since other drugs like MTX and LEF are either contraindicated or not useful. It is useful for treating ILD and vasculitis (Saketkoo et al. 2008)
