If i took 1st dose of methotrexate 10mg weekly last friday, can i take it 1-2 days early to switch to wed or thursays from now on?

Yes: I commonly change days by one to two days with my patients. It should not be a problem with your current dose. I would recommend you do this only with the approval of your primary prescribing physician.

Consult doc: Best to follow the regimen outlined by your rheumatologist, taking meds before their time may affect their efficacy or increase risk of side effects. Discuss dosing schedule with prescribing doc.
