Methotrexate

can someone please tell me if I still need to take folic acid if I haven’t injected Methotrexate this week. Due to having Covid-19 and feeling rough I decided not to inject but now I don’t know if I should also stop the folic acid for a week too?

Thank you for reading!

Probably not but it won't do you any harm to take it

I was told by my Rheaumatolgy nurse yesterday not to take my usual one day dose of folic acid if not injecting methotrexate due to illness.
