A member asked:
What is the definition or description of: methotrexate allergy?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Methotrexate allergy: Methotrexate is an anti-inflammatory drug routinely used to treat skin and joint diseases. In rare cases patients may develop a true allergic reaction. These include a rash, sores in the nose or mouth, enlargement of the lymph nodes, or rarely, lung disease. This is the most common drug prescribed by a rheumatologist. I am happy to do a consult if needed.
