Methotrexate: Indication, Dosage, Side Effect

Indication:

Methotrexate is a versatile medication used to treat cancer, autoimmune diseases, and inflammatory conditions. It is commonly prescribed for rheumatoid arthritis, psoriasis, and certain types of cancer such as leukemia, lymphoma, and breast cancer. In low doses, methotrexate helps reduce inflammation and slow disease progression in autoimmune disorders by suppressing the overactive immune system. In higher doses, it acts as a chemotherapy agent, targeting and killing rapidly dividing cancer cells.

Dosage:                               

Methotrexate is used to treat various conditions, including cancer, rheumatoid arthritis, and psoriasis, and the dosage depends greatly on the condition being treated. For rheumatoid arthritis and psoriasis, the usual adult dose is 7.5 to 25 mg once weekly, either taken orally, by injection, or under the skin. For cancer treatment, much higher doses may be used (sometimes hundreds of mg/m²) and often require hospital supervision along with special medications like leucovorin to reduce toxicity. It’s very important to take methotrexate exactly as prescribed—never daily for arthritis or psoriasis, as this can lead to serious or fatal side effects.

Note:

Methotrexate must be taken once weekly (not daily) for non-cancer uses—this is a common and dangerous mistake.

Regular blood tests are needed to monitor liver function, kidney function, and blood cell counts.

Patients should avoid alcohol and certain medications that can increase the risk of liver or kidney damage.

It may cause side effects like nausea, fatigue, or mouth sores, which should be reported to a doctor.
