How it works

Inhibits dihydrofolate reductase, reducing lymphocyte proliferation and pro-inflammatory cytokine production. At the low doses used in RA, it has powerful anti-inflammatory and immunomodulatory effects.

Prescription only — requires specialist initiation. Regular blood monitoring (LFTs, FBC) required. Folic acid supplementation reduces side effects. Strictly avoid alcohol. Teratogenic — not safe in pregnancy.
