What is Methotrexate?
Active Ingredients: Methotrexate
Methotrexate Injection is an antimetabolite and antifolate drug used to treat certain types of cancer. It is also indicated for the treatment of autoimmune diseases like severe psoriasis and rheumatoid arthritis. Methotrexate can also be used as an abortifacient in the induction of medical abortions.
Methotrexate works by interfering with the growth of certain cells of the body. It is particularly effective against cells that reproduce quickly, such as cancer cells, bone marrow cells, and skin cells. The active ingredient is also an immunosuppressant and therefore works to treat rheumatoid arthritis by decreasing immune system activity.
