Possible side effect

Methotrexate is usually well tolerated but some patients may develop mouth sores, stomach upset, and low white blood counts. Methotrexate is known to be toxic to the liver, kidneys, lung and bone marrow. Blood tests should be done on a regular basis while treatment with this drug. Other adverse reactions may include headache, drowsiness and allergic reactions such as skin rash, itching, dizziness, and hair loss.

Each of the medicines Entanercept and methotrexate have potential side effects, depending on the patient's health and age. There are a number of patients on combination therapy of methotrexate and entanercept which have experienced no mjaor side effects, however there are a number of patients who may have side effects from one or other of the medicines. Methotrexate is itself a very potent drug and a number of patients may experience side effects.

From a personal point of view I have been on methotrexate and entarecept for 2.5 years (methotrexate for about 5). My family life and general all round health has improved immensley. Methotrexate does give me problems especially nausea, but the benefits far exceed the downside. Campbell

What will methotrexate do to you if you have been wrongly diagnosed?

If you are taking it methotrexate for rheumatoid arthritis, you are doing it to reduce the destructive effects that your own immune system is having on cartilage in your joints and other connective tissue. Methotrexate need to be taken along with folic acid as it takes folic acid out of the system. People that use methotrexate need to be checked regularly with blood test to see if there is any toxin build up in the kidneys. However if you have been incorrectly diagnosed it hardly matters as the side effects ( and there are heaps of them) would be the same either way.

Can you take Zoloft and methotrexate?

This would be OK to do. There are no interactions listed between these two drugs. Remember that methotrexate is very harsh on your stomach. Have some food before you take this! Even more important to remember is that methotrexate wipes out folic acid in the system so a folic acid supplement needs to be taken everyday in order to reduce the risk of liver toxicity.
