Methotrexate Tablets

Active Ingredients: Methotrexate

Methotrexate Tablets are used to treat leukemia and some types of cancer. It may also be prescribed for autoimmune diseases like severe psoriasis and rheumatoid arthritis. Methotrexate is also indicated for the treatment of active polyarticular-course juvenile rheumatoid arthritis in children over 2 years old.

Methotrexate is classified as an antimetabolite and antifolate, which works by interfering with the growth of certain cells of the body. It is particularly effective against cells that reproduce quickly, such as cancer, bone marrow, and skin cells. The active ingredient is also an immunosuppressant and therefore works to treat rheumatoid arthritis by decreasing immune system activity.
