Methotrexate

Suepart

Hi, I take my methotrexate on a Friday morning. Yesterday I forgot so took it before I went to bed and was promptly sick around 30 mins later. Not sure whether I should repeat the dose??
many thanks

Morning @Suepart and welcome to the online community.

Personally I would not repeat dose and contact your doctor consultant to discuss your concerns.

The following link maybe of interest ………….

I am sure others will connect soon to.

Hi @Suepart, thanks for your message. Unfortunately, as we're not medically trained, we'd reiterate what @Naomi1933 said, and signpost you to consult with your rheumatology team, who will be able to advise. One of the side effects of Methotrexate is feeling or being sick, and the advice is to tell your doctor or nurse specialist straight away. I've provided information on the side effects, and which need to be reported immediately. Hope it helps.
