    FOLITRAX 5 MG TAB

    Folitrax 5mg Tablet is a medication containing methotrexate, used to treat severe rheumatoid arthritis, psoriasis, and certain cancers such as non-Hodgkin's lymphoma. Methotrexate inhibits dihydrofolate reductase, reducing DNA synthesis and cell replication, thereby controlling inflammation and abnormal cell growth. This tablet is taken once weekly under strict medical supervision due to potential side effects like liver and kidney toxicity. It is not suitable for pregnant or breastfeeding women, as it can harm the fetus or infant. Regular blood tests are necessary to monitor for side effects. This medication is crucial for managing conditions that do not respond to conventional treatments.

    Product Highlights and Usage:

    Active Ingredient: Methotrexate Indications: Treatment for rheumatoid arthritis, psoriasis, and certain types of cancer Mechanism of Action: Inhibits cell growth and modulates the immune response Dosage: Typically taken once weekly as prescribed by a healthcare provider Precautions: Not recommended for pregnant or breastfeeding women; requires monitoring of liver and kidney function

    How it works:

    FOLITRAX 5MG TABLET contains methotrexate, which works by interfering with the growth of rapidly reproducing cells in the body. This retards the growth of such cells, making it an effective anti-tumor agent. Additionally, it decreases the undesired reactions of the body’s immune-defense mechanism, functioning as an immunosuppressant. It also exhibits anti-inflammatory effects, reducing pain, swelling, and redness. As a result, it manages the symptoms associated with diseases such as rheumatoid arthritis and psoriasis.
