On Folic acid and Methotrexate

[Guest guest]

Hi all,

My sister takes Folic acid 5 days a week and on remaining 2 days, she takes Methotrexate. Folic acid is there to cure side effects of methotrexate and its VERY important for the liver.

Those taking methotrexate should get liver tested each month. They should also get " RA Factor Titer test " (it determines amount of RA Factor in the blood)

My sister took methotrexate for abt 2/3 months and her RA Factor has dropped. Her doctor asked her to keep taking this medicine for atleast 2 more months.

Dear , my sister's doctor also asked her to take Calcium supplements because its necessary for her. Plz do ask your doctor about this. which country do you belong to???

Another suggestion is (sorry for repeating this so many times) " DO consider steroids through IV if you are suffering from joint swelling because swelling is very dangerous thing and can seriously damage a joint "

GOD Bless you all.
