I take methotrexate/DMARDS/other drugs that suppress my immune system. Should I stop taking it?
The current advice is that you should not stop taking your medications unless advised to do so by your rheumatologist or rheumatology nurse.
By stopping your medication, you're more likely to have a ‘flare’, which could make you more likely to pick up an infection.
If you have concerns about your medication, speak to a member of your healthcare team.
