A member asked:
Is it safe to take methotrexate (for ra) with tamoxifen (chemoprevention for adh)?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes, but: Both are powerful, potentially dangerous drugs that should be monitored by physicians expert in their use. The major problem in mixing them is in white cell production and liver inflammation. Please follow your doctor's instructions carefully, and report any unusual symptoms to her/him. The benefit to risk ratio is a constant assessment doctors make when prescribing any medication(s).
