Leetrexate 2.5

Manufacturer: Johnlee Pharmaceuticals

Pharmaceutical name: Methotrexate

Pack: 1 pack (10 pills (2.5 mg))

Leetrexate is prescribed for specific types of cancer or to manage severe psoriasis or rheumatoid arthritis. It functions by disrupting cell growth and suppressing the immune system. Initiating treatment for rheumatoid arthritis early with stronger therapies like Methotrexate can help minimize further joint damage and maintain joint functionality.

 

When using Leetrexate for psoriasis or rheumatoid arthritis, follow your doctor's instructions carefully, typically taking it once a week. It may require several months of consistent use to experience the full benefits of Leetrexate. Do not increase your dosage or take it more frequently without your doctor’s consent, as doing so will not hasten your recovery and may elevate the risk of serious side effects.

 

Unless otherwise directed by your doctor, ensure you consume ample fluids while taking Leetrexate. This aids your kidneys in flushing the medication from your system and can help reduce some side effects. Leetrexate should include a Patient Information Leaflet. Review it thoroughly and feel free to ask your doctor or pharmacist any questions you may have regarding this medication.

 

It is crucial to administer each dose punctually. If you forget a dose of Leetrexate, reach out to your doctor or pharmacist promptly to create a new dosing plan. Do not double up on doses to make up for a missed one.

 

Potential Side Effects: You may experience nausea, vomiting, stomach discomfort, drowsiness, or dizziness. If any of these effects persist or worsen, inform your doctor or pharmacist without delay. Keep in mind that your doctor has recommended Leetrexate based on the belief that its benefits to you outweigh the potential side effects. Many individuals taking Leetrexate do not experience serious adverse effects.

 

Notify your doctor immediately if you encounter any of these serious side effects: sores in the mouth, diarrhea, fever, extreme fatigue, persistent sore throat, unusual bleeding or bruising, black stools, skin rashes, swollen glands or lymph nodes, dark urine, bone pain, abnormal pain, or skin discoloration.
