About Mexate 5 Tablet
Mexate 5 Tablet is used to treat active rheumatoid arthritis, including polyarticular juvenile rheumatoid arthritis, severe psoriasis, and severe psoriatic arthritis.
It is also used alone or in combination with other medicines to treat breast cancer, lung cancer, head and neck cancer, mycosis fungoides (a type of blood cancer), and advanced-stage non-Hodgkin lymphomas (cancer that starts in the lymphatic system).
Mexate 5 Tablet contains 'Methotrexate', which works by interrupting the processes of the immune system that cause inflammation in the joint tissues. It reduces pain and inflammation and delays joint damage and disease progression over time.
Mexate 5 Tablet prevents and stops the growth of cancer cells, thereby helping treat cancer. It treats psoriasis by suppressing the overactive immune system that is responsible for causing psoriasis.
In some cases, Mexate 5 Tablet may cause side effects such as nausea, vomiting, diarrhoea, unusual fatigue, dizziness, headache, loss of appetite, and lowered resistance to infections. You are advised to talk to your doctor if you experience these side effects persistently.
