What is Teriflunomide contraindicated in?

Diabetes
Pregnancy
Heart Failure
Hypertension

The correct answer is: Pregnancy

Teriflunomide is a medication used to treat multiple sclerosis, an autoimmune disease that affects the central nervous system. It works by decreasing inflammation in the body. Pregnancy is listed as a contraindication for Teriflunomide because it has been found to cause harm to the developing fetus. Therefore, it should not be taken by pregnant women. The other options, diabetes, heart failure, and hypertension, are not listed as contraindications for Teriflunomide. However, it is always important to consult with a doctor before starting any new medication, especially if you have pre-existing medical conditions.
