A member asked:
Can i take the 8 pills of methotrexate once a week or is it better to divide it and take it everyday one pill a day on the 7th day two pills?

Depends: Please talk to your doctor. I am an oncologist and am more familiar with weekly dosing (taken all at once, once per week), but please make sure that is what your doctor intended for your treatment. Thank you.
