Methotrexate belongs to the class of medications known as antimetabolites and antifolate drugs.

Patients prescribed it should adhere to their healthcare provider's recommendations regarding dosage and duration of treatment.

It is crucial to report any persistent symptoms or adverse effects promptly.

How it works

Methotrexate interferes with the production of DNA in rapidly growing cells, slowing their growth. It also reduces immune system activity, which helps in conditions like rheumatoid arthritis and psoriasis by lowering inflammation.

Take Methotrexate tablets exactly as prescribed by your doctor, usually once a week. Swallow whole with water, preferably after food. Do not crush or chew the tablet. Follow your doctor’s schedule to avoid serious side effects.
