COVID JAB DUE TOMORROW
Having my covid jab tomorrow and my methroxate is due on Monday evening .... is it ok to still take my meds? 8 tablets
Plus I’m on benipali folic acid
Gabapentin plus lots more?
Was bit worried
Hi I took my methotrexate injection Friday morning had my Covid Saturday and now just taking my Benepali I will take folic acid tomorrow and touch wood I am fine I did ask the dr before he said yes it’s ok I was like you very worried but glad I had it feel a lot better and safer next one1st may bring it on you will be fine stay safe 😷
My rheumatologist told me to carry on as normal. I'm on the same combinations you
It is completely safe to carry on taking your drugs.
Some of us have been advised to miss a week to help the response to the vaccine. But that very much depends on the individual, on the advice of their own medical team. So if you are completely stable and that is something that you are interested in then talk to your rheumy. Otherwise carry on as normal and enjoy the relief of being protected!
The person who did my jab specifically said carry on with your meds after he had seen the list. Said jab Saturday followed by methotrexate on Monday was fine. He seemed knowledgeable as I didn't ask him, he just volunteered the information?
Hi it would be good if health professions got more involved in this area You do seem to get different views and advice from health professions as well
It should be fine
Can i ask if they told you wot vaccine your getting
I should get mine in comeing weeks group 6
I have a strong preference
But will take any
Hope the jab goes ok and not to much side effects for you

Contact your GP or Rheumatologist
Thank you for asking this question. I have my vaccination on Wednesday and all the answers have reassured me 😊
I asked my GP who then contacted rheumatology who said take as normal. Rheumatology have also left a msg on their advice line to take as normal. Having listened to all advice I decided to leave off my Thursday night mtx as having jab 9am Fri as thinking better to give my body a chance to react to covid vaccine without having to cope with mtx as well.
regarding taking their MTX before the jab? I.e, I would normally take them on a Friday night and my...

The general advice on the nras.org.uk site is unless on rituximab take your usual medications. But give your doc a ring on monday am for advice.
Thank you keep safe
I was also told come off Benapali and Methotrexate for 2 weeks to allow Covid jab to work. Although Benapali more problematic
I am on Benepali and wasn’t told to come off. Had vaccine 4 weeks ago and I am fine. X
Shouldn’t do any harm ! I figured that as they are immuno suppressants that it would be best not to take them to maximise Covid jab effectiveness. My RA specialist nurse and GP advised the same. Sounds like nobody really knows as it’s all so new
