In this episode, we’ll be talking about methotrexate and clarifying how it is used in rheumatology settings. Methotrexate is one of the main medications used to slow or stop the progression of autoimmune arthritis and reduce disease activity.
We’ll hear from Janine Fisher, a patient who has lived with rheumatoid arthritis for 31 years. Janine shares her journey with methotrexate, starting with her initial concerns about taking it. She has tried various other treatments over the years and now uses methotrexate successfully in combination with a biologic medication to manage her condition.
Rheumatologist, Dr Irwin Lim will explain why methotrexate is widely used as a front-line treatment for many forms of autoimmune arthritis. He will also explain how it can safely be used by most people and dispel the myths that have developed around it.
