A member asked:
Can you take methotrexate tablets and folic acid tablet at same time?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Not recommended: Folic acid decreases effects of Methotrexate and the result is creates an opposite drug effect, hence should not be used together. The same applies to nsaids (aspirin) and methotrexate.
