Doctor has prescribed 1Folitrax 15mg once a week 2folic Acid 5mg once a day 3Sazo 500 twice daily is this treatment good? shud we continue these medicines?as The Doc says she has to continue forever. folitraxMethotrexate,Sazo 500 taken for long term will not have side effects? Should she go for HomoepathyAyurveda? should she use these drugs only when there is a flare or should she continue this forever?  <response>: Hello, Indeed, her current treatment is a bit hard for her, but thats the perfect treatment for her rheumatoid arthritis. Usually, when used in long term we advise running liverkidney and other blood tests to evaluate if their function has altered, in order to change dosage or therapy of her actual treatment. She can go for homeopathy, there is no problem. Unless, she might feel something unusual or if improved, should discuss with her doctor to stop her current treatment. All the best.
