Common uses
Methotrexate is used to treat several different types of rheumatic disease, including rheumatoid arthritis and psoriatic arthritis. Methotrexate can reduce inflammation and also can affect the immune system (the body’s own defence system). One of its actions is to reduce the activity of the immune system, so it is always used with care.
Do not use this medication if you are allergic to methotrexate. Do not use methotrexate to treat psoriasis or rheumatoid arthritis if you have:
Directions
Methotrexate is usually taken in tablet form ONCE A WEEK on the same day. It should be taken with food. The tablets should be swallowed whole and not crushed or chewed.
Possible side effects
The most common side effects of methotrexate include nausea or vomiting and abnormalities in liver function tests. These side effects are more likely to occur at higher doses. About 1 to 3 percent of patients develop mouth sores (called stomatitis), rash, diarrhea and abnormalities in blood counts. Methotrexate has been associated with cirrhosis (scarring) of the liver, but this side effect is rare and more likely to occur in patients who have underlying liver problems or are taking other drugs toxic to the liver.
If you take too much
Seek emergency medical attention if you think you have used too much of this medicine. An overdose of methotrexate can be fatal.
