Methotrexate Morningside Healthcare (Methotrexate)

Methotrexate works by inhibiting dihydrofolate reductase, an enzyme essential for converting dihydrofolate to tetrahydrofolate. This inhibition depletes tetrahydrofolate, a co‑factor required for the synthesis of purine nucleotides and thymidylate, thereby blocking DNA, RNA and protein production. The resulting antiproliferative effect is most evident in rapidly dividing cells such as immune cells and malignant lymphocytes.

The dose of methotrexate is individualized and set by the prescribing healthcare professional based on the specific indication, patient weight, renal and hepatic function, and treatment goals. Dosage regimens can vary widely between inflammatory diseases and oncologic protocols, and adjustments are made according to clinical response and laboratory monitoring.

Methotrexate is classified as pregnancy category X, meaning it is contraindicated in pregnancy because it can cause fetal malformations and embryotoxicity. It is also not recommended during breastfeeding, as it can be excreted in breast milk and may harm the infant. Effective contraception is required for both men and women of reproductive potential while on therapy.

Methotrexate is a cornerstone DMARD with a well‑documented efficacy profile, often used as first‑line therapy for rheumatoid arthritis and psoriasis. Compared with biologic DMARDs, it is less expensive but may require more laboratory monitoring. In oncology, it is one of several antimetabolite agents; its potency and toxicity differ from drugs such as cytarabine or 5‑fluorouracil, influencing regimen selection.

Patients are advised not to split or crush tablets unless specifically instructed, and to follow any accompanying folic acid supplementation guidelines.

The most serious risks include severe liver toxicity, pulmonary fibrosis, bone‑marrow suppression leading to anemia, leukopenia or thrombocytopenia, and acute kidney injury. These adverse events can be life‑threatening and require prompt medical attention. Regular monitoring of liver enzymes, renal function, and complete blood counts
