Methotrexate , Are Supplements Advisable?
UpdatedHaving been diagnosed with psoriatic arthritis (though psoriasis has always been super mild), I have just started taking 10mg methotrexate once a week followed by 5mg of folic acid for 2 days. Is it recommended to take a vitamin supplement (if so , which?) or any other supplement to compensate for weakening of the immune system (if so, which)? Also, which pain killers are most effective and least harmful to liver etc? Thankyou!
