Is it possible to start treatment with methotrexate immediately after the end of sulfasalazine therapy?
The husband uses sulfasalazin en- poorly works and the doctor wonders about methotrexate. Is it necessary to take a break, or is it possible to immediately start taking a second drug?

No interval is required between the end of sulfasalazine therapy and the start of methotrexate therapy. If your doctor decides to change your treatment, you can stop taking sulfasalazine and start methotrexate therapy. Due to the increased risk of liver damage, these drugs should not be used at the same time. I encourage you to read the text: https://www.gdziepolek.pl/artykuly/czy-jak-i-kiedy-mozna-odstawic-leki
