Hi I am suffering from R.A. since the last 4 years. I have been prescribed Folitrax. I used to take 1 tablet once in a fortnight but to no effect. Since my dosage has been increased to 2 tablets per week I am feeling much better. I wanted to know what is the maximum dosage which can be taken and what are the side effects of this drug?
Hello, Let me tell you that Solitary(Methotrexate) tablet usually comes in 2.5 mg strength and the usual weekly dose is 7.5 mg while the maximum weekly dose is 20 mg.  So your dose is still moderate and there is no need to worry at all. Common side effects of solitary are nausea, stomach pain hair loss etc. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further. Take care Chat Doctor.
