DMARDs: Methotrexate is part of a group of medications called dmards(disease modifying anti-rheumatic drugs). There are other medications in this group including hydroxychloroquine, sulfasalazine, and biological medications. Consult with the gp/rheumatologist regarding these medications if Methotrexate is not working.

Hi, I'm on Plasmaquine and Methotrexate 7.5mg x 1 per week for arthritis. I'm concerned that the Methotrexate may weaken my immune system and make me more vulnerable to Covid-19. Would it not be safer to discontinue use untill the threat has passed?
