Hi. Does anyone here take hydroxychloroquine or sulphasadine together with methotrexate? Have been on methotrexate for a number of years but seems to have become less effective on its own. Rheumatology nurse has recommended either of the other two but in a bit of a dilemma. Both seem to have bad side effects .

Hi @Skinnygirl, I'm afraid I have no personal experience of this, but I have found a website which talks about having both or all three medicines together for RA:

I hope that helps a bit, and I'm sure some other people on the forum will be able to speak for their experience.

Thank you. Will look into that.

Hi,

I've never taken sulf but been on meth and hydroxy for years with no problems. I hope whatever you go for helps.
