Recommended dosage depends on the type of drug. The prescribing physician or the pharmacist provide information for the correct dosage. The drugs must be taken exactly as directed.
When taking methotrexate for rheumatoid arthritis, it should be taken only once or twice a week as prescribed, not every day. Taking it every day can lead to a fatal overdose.
