Hi I asked the same question a few weeks ago. The info from the pharmacy said they shouldn't be taken together. I called Stella at Addenbrookes and she checked with one of the consultants who said it was ok. Hope this helps.

I take methotrexate once a week and omeprazole daily, I take them at different times of the day with no problems, so far anyway.

I take folic acid 2 days after methotrexate which has helped with side effects.

I also take prednisolone, calcium and vitamin D.
