Medication
Methotrexate (Subcutaneous)
A one-page care plan for patients taking Methotrexate (Subcutaneous), covering Purpose, Prevention & Protection, Expectations & Execution, Nutrition & Next Steps, Consistency, Indications and Lifestyle & Long-Term Success.
In this plan
Purpose, Prevention & Protection
- I know methotrexate lowers inflammation and helps control rheumatoid arthritis, polyarticular JIA, or severe psoriasis.
- I inject methotrexate once each week, never every day; daily dosing by mistake can cause fatal toxicity.
- I avoid pregnancy during treatment; I follow my care team’s contraception instructions during and after treatment.
- I tell my care team about liver, kidney, lung, blood, or immune problems and about my alcohol use.
