Anyone on here need methylated vitamin b?

[Loopydroopy]

I'm starting MTX and I forgot to tell my Dr I can't process normal B vitamins. He gave me folic acid to take along with it. I'm just wondering if I need the methylated version? Does this make since or am I crazy? Pleas advise if you are the same.

You need to take folate with MTX to reduce the side effects. Probably the best person to ask about this is a pharmacist - the duty one, not the counter staff - or even call the hospital pharmacy and ask them.

Thanks PMRpro, I'll ask the pharmacy today!! Great idea, I forget to utilize them.

I sometimes have my doubts looking at the junk they sell in the shops - but they did study for a several years to get where they are...

Yes good knowledge there!!! Also, I'm on a first name basis with mine as I go there all the time. I haven been able to get out today to talk to them but I will before the weekend is out.
