Methotrexate Demystified: Understanding This Common Rheumatic Treatment

How can this event help me?

Methotrexate is one of the most widely prescribed medications for rheumatic conditions such as rheumatoid arthritis and psoriatic arthritis. Despite its proven benefits, many patients and caregivers have questions about its use, potential side effects, and long-term management. Join Rheumatologist Dr Pauline Habib for an informative session that will provide clear and practical insights into this essential treatment.

In this session, Dr Habib  will be sharing insights on:

  • How Methotrexate Works: Understand the science behind Methotrexate and how it suppresses the overactive immune response that drives inflammation. Discover its role in slowing disease progression, alleviating joint pain, and preserving mobility for those with chronic conditions.
  • Safe Usage and Monitoring: Learn about the importance of regular blood tests to monitor liver function and blood cell counts, how to manage potential side effects like nausea or fatigue, and tips for minimising risks while maximising the drug’s therapeutic benefits.
  • Addressing Common Concerns: Explore answers to frequently asked questions, including how Methotrexate interacts with other medications, dietary considerations such as folic acid supplementation, and practical guidance on alcohol consumption and lifestyle adjustments.
  • Integrating Methotrexate with a Holistic Plan: See how Methotrexate fits within a comprehensive management strategy that may include tailored exercise programs, anti-inflammatory diets, and mental health support, ensuring a well-rounded approach to living with a rheumatic condition.

This session is designed for individuals currently using or considering Methotrexate, as well as caregivers seeking to support loved ones effectively. Join us on Wednesday, 19 February, at 8:00 PM AEDT for this live virtual event. As always, we welcome your questions and discussions to make this an engaging and supportive experience for everyone.
