Hi all,

At teatime today I take 8 Methotrexate tablets. I started Hydroxychloroquine yesterday, 1 at breakfast, 1 at teatime.

So, do I take the teatime Hydrox at the same time as the MTX, or should I space them out?

    Hi Jackie,

    Sorry I can't answer your question. Can your phone a pharmacy, they would be able to help you? There should be one open on a Sunday.

    Hi Jackie
    i took both of those and was told to take it at the same time, i was on same dose too. but i always spaced it out abit taking the hydroxy a couple of hours later with a biscuit, just cos it made me feel better and its a good excuse to have a biscuit :lol:

    Yes! Not that I've ever needed an excuse to have a biscuit, seeing as I have a magic biscuit barrel that calls out to me :wink:

    my biscuits by-pass the barrel straight into my mouth :lol: saves on washing up.
    good luck jackie with the meds, mxt is working well for me at the mo and they may add hydroxy back in for me again soon just waiting on a few eye tests first.
