I take both, and have done for nearly 8yrs. I take MTX on a Wednesday, and benepali on a Saturday. My rheumatologist said to leave at least 48hrs between the 2.

I take Benepali on Wednesday night and MTX 20mg on Saturday night. Spreading them out over the week seems to keep everything better controlled. Since 2017. Sulphasalazine every day. 1g split in two doses. Folic acid every day but Saturday!

I take methotrexate on Monday evening and Benepali on Thursday evening. This works for me. I inject methotrexate into the top of my legs and benepali into my stomach area .
