METHOTREXATE contains ‘Methotrexate’ that works by interrupting the processes of the immune system that cause inflammation in the joint tissues. It reduces pain and inflammation and delays joint damage and disease progression over time. Besides this, METHOTREXATE prevents and stops the growth of cancer cells, thereby helps treat cancer. METHOTREXATE treats psoriasis by suppressing the overactive immune system that is responsible for causing psoriasis.
In some cases, METHOTREXATE may cause common side-effects such as nausea, vomiting, diarrhoea, unusual fatigue, dizziness, headache, loss of appetite, lowered resistance to infections, tingling sensation, leukopenia (decreased number of white blood cells), and soreness of mouth and lips. You are advised to talk to your doctor if you experience these side effects persistently.
Take METHOTREXATE exactly as prescribed by the doctor; daily intake of METHOTREXATE could lead to serious toxic effects. Do not take METHOTREXATE if you are pregnant or breastfeeding. METHOTREXATE may cause dizziness and fatigue, so drive only if you are alert. Avoid consuming alcohol whilst on treatment with METHOTREXATE. Your doctor may advise you to undergo regular blood tests, kidney and liver tests to monitor your condition. Inform your doctor about your medications and health condition to rule out any unpleasant side effects/interactions.
