Methotryxate

Hi

After months, have had the all clear that my lungs are fine so my rheumy has prescribed me methotryxate .

But am confused - perhaps stupidly. Do I take my 3 tabs ( 2.5 mg simultaneously) in one go, once a week. The pharmacist said this is how to take them.

Thanks

Paul

Yes! Follow your pharmacists advice to the letter! And drink lots of water and all will be well.

Yes if you’ve been prescribed 7.5mg once a week. Check the prescription and if in doubt seek further advice from medical staff.

Methotrexate is always taken all at once, on the same day every week.

Hope it controls the disease for you.
