About this product

Overview

Pharmatrexate 10mg Tablet contains Methotrexate, which is a medication classified as an antimetabolite. It is used to treat various conditions, including cancer, autoimmune diseases, and certain inflammatory conditions.

Uses

Pharmatrexate 10mg Tablet is primarily prescribed for the following conditions:

  • Cancer: Methotrexate is used in the treatment of various cancers, including leukemia, lymphoma, and certain solid tumors.
  • Rheumatoid Arthritis: Methotrexate is often used to reduce inflammation and slow the progression of rheumatoid arthritis.
  • Psoriasis: Methotrexate is effective in treating severe cases of psoriasis, a chronic skin condition characterized by red, scaly patches.
  • Autoimmune Diseases: Methotrexate may be used to treat autoimmune diseases such as lupus, vasculitis, and inflammatory bowel disease.

Mechanism of Action

Methotrexate works by inhibiting the enzyme dihydrofolate reductase, which is involved in the synthesis of DNA, RNA, and proteins. By interfering with these processes, methotrexate inhibits the growth and proliferation of rapidly dividing cells, including cancer cells and cells involved in the immune response.

Administration

Take Pharmatrexate 10mg Tablet orally, as directed by your healthcare provider. It is usually taken once a week. Follow the prescribed dosage and duration of treatment.

Side Effects

Common side effects of Pharmatrexate 10mg Tablet may include nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, mouth sores, and hair loss. Serious side effects may include bone marrow suppression, liver toxicity, and lung problems. It is important to report any unusual or severe side effects to your healthcare provider.

Precautions

  • Inform your healthcare provider about any pre-existing medical conditions, especially liver or kidney problems.
  • Disclose all medications, including prescription and over-the-counter drugs, as well as any herbal supplements, to avoid potential interactions.
  • Use effective contraception during treatment, as methotrexate may cause harm to an unborn baby.
