What is Otrexup
MethotrexateThe Generic name of this drug
Treatment SummaryMethotrexate is a drug that works by blocking certain enzymes needed for cell growth and division. It is often used to treat inflammation caused by arthritis, or to control cell division in certain types of cancer, such as breast cancer and non-Hodgkin's lymphoma. It is only prescribed if first line treatments have failed or the patient is unable to tolerate them. Methotrexate was first approved by the FDA in 1953.

Effectiveness
How Otrexup Affects PatientsMethotrexate stops specific enzymes from producing compounds needed for cell growth, reducing inflammation. It is usually taken once a week, but should not be taken daily. It is important to take the right amount of methotrexate, as it has a narrow range of effectiveness.
How Otrexup works in the bodyMethotrexate blocks the enzymes that help create the building blocks for cells to divide. This stops cells from multiplying, which reduces inflammation in conditions like rheumatoid arthritis. Additionally, methotrexate creates a buildup of certain molecules in the body, which helps stimulate anti-inflammatory action.
When to interrupt dosage
The amount of Otrexup is contingent upon the diagnosed affliction, including Uveitis, Polymyositis and nonleukemic meningeal cancer. The dosage is dictated by the process of administration featured in the table below.Condition

Otrexup Reviews: What are patients saying about Otrexup?
5Patient Review
4/28/2014 I was doubtful at first, but after trying this medication out I was really pleased with how easy it is to use. This will save me a lot of time and hassle in the future.
5Patient Review
5/29/2014 This treatment is much easier than Humira and/or Enbrel, and it also eliminates the gastrointestinal symptoms I had with oral MTX.
5Patient Review
9/26/2015 I'm so glad I decided to go with Otrexup instead of Resuvo after my doctor told me about both options. The injector is much easier to use, and the medication itself is pain-free and convenient. I'll continue using it for as long as possible before having to switch to more expensive biologics.
5Patient Review
9/19/2014 This is much easier to tolerate than the tablets, and even easier to administer than my Humira injections given my arthritis.

5Patient Review
4/28/2014 Otrexup is really easy to use, and I love that I can do it myself without having to go to the doctor's office all the time. The results have been great so far. My only suggestion would be to switch up your injection site between your stomach and thigh every week.
