What should I do if I am afraid of Metex side effects?

You may experience side effects while taking Metex. Like any substance, methotrexat does not remain indifferent to the human body. You should know that side effects may or may not occur, so assuming that during treatment with the drug you will definitely experience unwanted symptoms and a bad attitude is a mistake. If side effects occur, please remember that you can and should always report them to your doctor, then a therapy will be selected that will be convenient and effective for you. Methotrexate is the most well-known and standard drug modifying the course of m.in rheumatoid arthritis, prevents destructive changes in the joints, delays their occurrence, as well as relieves the symptoms of inflammation. Side effects of the drug are directly related to the size of the dose. Due to the use of low doses of drugs in rheumatology (maximum 25-30 mg / week), the most common side effects are not very severe. When using methotrexate may, does not have to, activate dermatitis and sunburn after exposure to UV rays. Therefore, during treatment, it is best to use sunscreen (https://www.gdziepolek.pl/kategorie/dermokosmetyki-z-filtrem-przeciwslonecznym). The use of drugs from the group of non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), e.g. ibuprofen, may lead to an interaction consisting in the appearance of toxic effects of methotrexate. Therefore, NSAIDs with Methex should be used under the supervision of a specialist. In the event of pain and lack of contact with a doctor, paracetamol is a safe preparation for use alone.
