A member asked:
Touched methotrexate tablets in the pharmacy i work at. is this kind of short term handling enough to warrant serious concern/cause permanent damage?

Minimal Contact is n: Handling some of the chemo-drugs is potentially harmful especailly the alkylating agents.Methotrexate being an timetabolite is not all that mutagenic...So occasional contact with the Methotrexate pills is not likely to do any harm.
