Hi I've been on it for four months now and had no side affects at all except urine that looks like I'm dehydrated.

I take mine in the morning and evening with food so after breakfast and dinner. I usually take a full glass of water with them too.

Good luck and hope all goes well for you.

Nothing, except yellow pee!! I've been on it for over 3 year's, no problems,no worries and working great for me. I'm currently on 4 a day and my Rheumatologist is talking about upping it to possibly to 6 per day. It's just finding what works for the individual, loads of folk on here think methotrexate is great but even injections for me were absolutely awful but we are all different. Hope things work out,I'm sure you will be fine, try not to worry and crack on!! 👍👍🤞🤞
