A member asked:

Can you take hcg drops 1234 while on 25 mg of methotrxate?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

No: HCG and Methotrexate should not be taken in combination. The mechanism of action in weight loss which is what I think you are taking HCG for is unknown. If you were to take methotrexate during pregnancy it will affect and may cause a miscarriage. So, I would be careful . It may not work and you will be wasting time and money.
