Hi, I usually take methotrexate with remicade to treat my rheumatoid arthritis but a month ago i was hospitalized with acute kidney failure and before i got out the kidney doctor told me that methotrexate was not good for the kidneys so i stopped taking it until i saw my specialist which is tomorrow... i have missed 4 injections approximately, is it dangerous to stop like that?
Hi, Stopping methotrexate due to kidney failure is not a bad thing and no it won't affect you suddenly. In rheumatoid arthritis there are a group medication we give to patients, we call them Awards. As methotrexate, which is usually the first medication prescribed cannot be given, we shift to other Chat Doctor. I hope this answered your question.
