I started taking Benepali injections 8 weeks ago. I am wondering should I take my dose of 10 tablets of methotrexate on the same day. It has fallen that way since my training nurse came on the same day as I have always taken the tablets. Any advice will be welcomed. Thanks

I was told by my specialist nurse not to take them both on the same day, she said if you do your immune system gets a double whammy. Monday is my mtx day and Friday is enbrel. Plus if you do have any side affects and you do both the same day they won't know which I one caused it.
Thankyou for that. You're right about the double whammy. Especially for the side effects. I have been having tummy trouble for two days each week after the jab. Hopefully spacing it out will sort this .
This is something only the pharmacist or rheumatology can give you a definitive answer for. We all react very differently to our meds. Please ask the people who know. All the best.
