How long can Folitrax-7.5 Tablet be taken safely?

Asked by Female, 65 · 16 days ago

Folitrax-7.5 Tablet contains methotrexate, which may be taken safely for several years when prescribed and regularly monitored by a doctor. There is no fixed maximum duration because the length of treatment depends on your condition, how well the medicine controls your symptoms, and your blood test results. It is usually taken once a week on the same day, not daily. Methotrexate can affect the liver, kidneys, and blood cells, so regular blood tests are important during treatment. These usually include blood counts, liver function tests, and kidney function tests. Once your treatment is stable, these tests are generally done every 2 to 3 months. Do not stop Folitrax-7.5 Tablet suddenly or continue taking it for longer than advised. Your doctor may adjust the dose or stop treatment if your condition improves or if your test results show side effects.
