I took my first dose of methotrexate last Monday but I think I might prefer Sundays. Would it be ok to take it tomorrow?

Well I chose a Friday and stuck with but don't think it would be a problem but best ask doctor /consultant first.

Hi @maildraw,

Thank you for posting on the Helpline Online Community.

Methotrexate should be taken on the same day once a week, you shouldn't bring this date forwards or delay it without advice from your Rheumatology team as the dose is designed to be taken 7 days apart. Your Rheumatology team includes your Rheumatologist supported by Rheumatology Nurse Specialists. You should have been given a helpline number for this team at the hospital.

I hope you find the following information helpful.
