Yes, Folitrax (methotrexate) is commonly and safely used for long-standing psoriasis when prescribed by a doctor, as it helps control skin inflammation and prevents flare-ups. Folvite 5 mg (folic acid) is usually given along with Folitrax to reduce side effects like mouth sores, stomach upset, and liver problems. Take your medications exactly as advised by your doctor.
