Methotrexate Tips from Pharmacists
The drug dose is usually once per week; therefore, it is essential to set a reminder to ensure that you don't forget or take more than your doctor advises.
Other medications may not work as well when taken with methotrexate. Tell your healthcare practitioner about your medications, including prescription, over-the-counter, and dietary supplements.
Due to the increased risk of infection caused by this medication, frequent hand washing and avoiding contact with sick people are recommended.
While using this medication, try to limit your sun exposure as your skin may burn more readily. Wear sunglasses, a hat, a long-sleeved shirt, long pants, and sunscreen at all times.
