I have just been diagnosed with mild bibislar lung scars. I am currently on Methotrexate 25mg once weekly subcutaneous needle for Rh arthritis. I have been diagnosed with osteo and rh arthritis. My concern is taking Methotrexate. I have been on tablet for 6-8 once a week for the last 3 years and have recently started having the needle form. Would you please give me your recommendation regarding this medication? My mother died as a result of Fibrosing Alveolitis and she also had Rh Arthritis. Weak lungs seem to Rubin the family ..this includes cancer of the lung. Thank you.
Thanks for your question on Chat Doctor. I can understand your concern. Methotrexate used for RA can cause pulmonary fibrosis. So in my opinion, you should stop methotrexate and start other newer Chat Doctor. Newer
