forgotten methotrexate injection

[Secondnatured]

first time forgotten to inject last night. I have forgotten instructions. Do I just administer injection this morning or do I miss it for a week?

thank you, this advice for injections?

If you read the website link, just above the section I screen shot, it mentions all the different ways of taking methotrexate including injecting so I assume this advice applies to all of them.

Thank you for your help, I must devote more time to researching my condition. Stressful family event has knocked me off kilter, so grateful for your help

I just had my first injection of methotrexate last Friday, 15 mgs, of course no noticeable relief of arthritic pain yet still on 4 mgs pred, but rheumy says you can stop methotrexate at any time, dont havevto wean off like pred and other meds, so is missing a dose really that crucial?

I do it and then move next weeks on a few hours

I have forgotten a couple of times . I usually inject in the evening so I inject the following evening then that changes my day and I inject again exactly a week later. I now have a weekly alarm set up on my phone as a reminder!

I was told it’s moveable by a day or so. Same for Abatacept.

Hi if you forget then yes you can take it the day after. You would then have that day as your new Methotrexate day. Does that make sense? If you usually take it say Monday but forget & take it Tuesday then Tuesday will now be your day to regularly take it.
