A member asked:
Can i take my weekly dose of 12.5mg methotrexate if i feel i'm coming down w/ something or if i have a cold or sinus infection?at what point to i skip
A doctor has provided 1 answer
I tend to hold it: I tell my patients that if they are feeling ill, to skip a week or two until they feel better. In general, the joints don't flare if a few doses are missed. Ask your rheumatologist for a plan for when this happens so that you know what to do.
