Methotrexate is a cornerstone in treating rheumatoid arthritis, helping to reduce inflammation and manage symptoms.

It works by interfering with the growth of rapidly dividing cells, which helps reduce inflammation and immune system activity.

However, it’s important to be aware of potential side effects like
➡️ nausea,
➡️ fatigue, and
➡️ mouth sores

But there are more serious side effects of Methotrexate. It can include
➡️ liver damage,
➡️ reduced blood cell production,
➡️ lung problems, and
➡️ Kidney issues.

Methotrexate should be avoided during pregnancy due to its potential to cause serious harm to the developing fetus.

It is classified as a Category X drug, meaning it has been shown to cause birth defects or other problems in the fetus.

Always consult with your doctor if you notice any unusual symptoms.

Regular monitoring by your healthcare provider ensures you’re getting the benefits while managing any potential risks.
