imutrexate10mg10tab

Imutrexate contains Methotrexate, a potent antimetabolite medication used primarily as a disease-modifying antirheumatic drug (DMARD) and in chemotherapy. It works by inhibiting the metabolism of folic acid, which is essential for cell division. In lower doses, it is highly effective in managing severe active rheumatoid arthritis, polyarticular juvenile idiopathic arthritis, and severe recalcitrant psoriasis that has not responded to other treatments. This medication requires strict medical supervision due to its potential impact on blood cell counts, liver function, and immune system response. Patients must adhere strictly to the prescribed dosing schedule, which is often once weekly.
