A member asked:

I take an anti-inflammatory for psoriatic arthritis. can i take folic acid (b9) without problem?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Yes: Folic acid may help since the psoriasis can cause vitamin depletion, and is a must if you are taking methotrexate. Don't forget other b vitamins are used up as well.
