Question 1

Can Methotrexate cause mouth ulcers?

Accepted Answer

Yes, mouth ulcers can occur with Methotrexate. Folic acid may help reduce this risk. If ulcers are severe, consult your doctor for possible dose adjustments.

Question 2

Why is folic acid prescribed with Methotrexate?

Accepted Answer

Methotrexate lowers folic acid levels, leading to side effects such as mouth sores, nausea, and fatigue. Folic acid supplements help reduce these effects.

Accepted Answer

Blood tests monitor Methotrexate’s effects on your liver and blood cells, helping your doctor adjust the dose or treatment plan as needed.

Yes, as an immunosuppressant, Methotrexate may increase infection risk. Contact your doctor if you notice symptoms like persistent cough, fever, or shortness of breath.

Can Methotrexate affect fertility?

Accepted Answer

Methotrexate may cause temporary fertility issues in men and women. These effects are usually reversible after stopping the medication.

Question 6

What if I want to get pregnant and my partner is on Methotrexate?

Accepted Answer

If your partner is on Methotrexate, it is recommended to avoid pregnancy during treatment and for at least 3 months after the last dose to reduce any potential risk to the fetus.

Can I stop Methotrexate once my symptoms improve?

Accepted Answer

No, consult your doctor before stopping Methotrexate, as stopping abruptly can cause a flare-up of symptoms. Your doctor will advise on how to safely discontinue.
