RE: Re: methotrexate- skipping folic acid day of MTX

[Guest guest]

I was wondering about taking to much folic acid last week. I was getting my

weekly dose of 8 MTX pills the other day, or so I thought. It was really 8

folic acid tablets that I had in my hand. I caught the error and took the

right med, I have always hated that they are the same color and similar in

size.

Check the pharmacy. There are folic acid tablets that are bigger and

another color. I switched pharmacies and found that out. In fact, it was

cheaper to get 90 days of MTX and folic acid from Walmart (WITHOUT USING

INSURANCE) than it was using my regular pharmacy with insurance!! Cost me

3x as much to use my insurance for prescriptions than not to do so. Saving

a bundle!
