Can i work in the healthcare field exposed to sick patients, while taking methotrexate?

Sure: Disease is seldom transmitted to practitioners in the health care setting, and the opportunistic infections to which you may be slightly more vulnerable aren't likely to be contracted from patients. Truth be told, the dose of methotrexate used to treat arthritis, psoriasis and so forth aren't likely to result in much danger from opportunists nowadays.
