Methotrexate
Hi, it’s not me with Psoriatic Arthritis it’s my husband. He was diagnosed in his mid 20’s I think it was so it’s almost been 20 years. Recently his meds (salozaperine) have stopped working for him. He’s going on to Methotrexate. His bloods are back and they want him to have a chest X-ray. Is that normal practice before starting on Methotrexate? Only he missed the call and they left a message with lots of questions about his chest. TIA x
Yes normal. Methotrexate can have some pretty nasty side effects, I think they like to know your body could deal with any issues before you try it, I had to do a couple of lung function tests too.
Hi
I've just been prescribed Methotrexate. In fact, I was only diagnosed with PsA and Spondylitis a month ago. I had to have a chest X-ray before I could start on the treatment. It came back clear.
