Methotrexate therapy

Methotrexate is a medication commonly used to treat conditions like certain cancers, rheumatoid arthritis, and psoriasis. It works by interfering with the growth of rapidly dividing cells, including abnormal immune cells or cancer cells, helping to reduce inflammation and slow disease progression. While effective, methotrexate requires careful monitoring because it can affect healthy cells and cause side effects such as liver issues or lowered blood counts. Treatment is typically administered in controlled doses by a healthcare provider, often with regular blood tests to ensure safety and effectiveness.
