Methotrexate 2.5mg is a strong prescription medicine used to treat severe joint and skin conditions, as well as certain types of cancer. Each box contains 100 small tablets, with each tablet containing 2.5mg of Methotrexate.
It is commonly prescribed by doctors for severe rheumatoid arthritis, severe psoriasis (a chronic skin condition causing red, scaly patches), and certain inflammatory diseases.
Methotrexate works by calming down an overactive immune system:
Reduces Swelling & Pain: In rheumatoid arthritis, it slows down the immune system to stop it from attacking healthy joints.
Slows Skin Cell Growth: In psoriasis, it slows down how quickly skin cells grow and build up, helping skin heal.
🚨 CRITICAL WARNING: For arthritis and skin conditions, Methotrexate is taken ONCE A WEEK, on the SAME DAY every week.
Taking this medicine every day by mistake can cause severe, life-threatening poisoning.
Always double-check your dose and mark your calendar for your chosen day of the week.
🚨 Pregnancy Danger: Methotrexate can cause birth defects or pregnancy loss.
Women and men taking this medicine must use effective birth control during treatment and for a period of time after stopping.
🚨 Liver Protection: Drinking alcohol while taking methotrexate significantly increases the risk of serious liver damage. Avoid alcohol while taking this medicine.
Follow Your Doctor's Exact Schedule: Take your prescribed dose only on your assigned day of the week.
Swallow Whole: Swallow tablets with a full glass of water. Do not crush, chew, or break them.
Folic Acid Supplements: Your doctor will usually prescribe a vitamin called Folic Acid to take on the days you do not take methotrexate to help prevent side effects like mouth sores and upset stomach.
Regular Blood Tests: Your doctor will order frequent blood tests to monitor your liver, kidneys, and blood cell counts while you are taking this medicine.
If you forget to take your dose on your scheduled day, contact your doctor or pharmacist for advice. Do NOT take extra tablets to make up for a missed dose.
