Hi
I wonder if you could help me .
I have OA ,but a friend of ours has RA and is on Methotrexate ,now i do believe that you should not drink alcohol whilst on this drug or at least in small amounts ,could you tell me what is the guide line for say a weeks amount of alcohol.
Many thanks
Jean

Dear Jean
Thank you for your posting on the forum. If you follow the link http://www.arc.org.uk/arthinfo/patpubs/6247/6247.asp this will lead you to information on methotrexate and alcohol but as everyone’s case is individual your friend should speak to their rheumatologist about drinking alcohol while on methotrexate.
I hope this is helpful.
Best Wishes
