Composition

Folic Acid (1 Mg) + Methotrexate (7.5 Mg)

Mext 7.5 F Tablet is primarily used to manage rheumatoid arthritis, a chronic autoimmune disorder that affects the joints. It belongs to a class of medicines known as antimetabolites, which have anti-inflammatory and immunosuppressive properties.

This medicine is also utilised in managing certain types of psoriasis, a skin condition characterised by red, scaly patches. Psoriasis can be difficult to control, but Mext 7.5 F Tablet aids in managing severe cases that are not responsive to other therapies.

Before starting this medicine, it's crucial to consult your doctor for the correct dosage and frequency. Inform your doctor about any pre-existing conditions or ongoing medications you're taking. If you experience any side effects while on this medication, notify your doctor immediately. For optimal results, continue taking the medicine for the duration prescribed by your doctor.

Managing the Side Effects:

Most side effects are temporary and generally harmless, which resolve on discontinuing the use of Mext 7.5 F Tablet. However, if you experience any serious side effects or worsening of any of the symptoms, please consult your doctor.

Here are two tips for managing common side effects:

Nausea: If you feel nauseous after taking this medicine, try taking it with food or milk.
Abdominal discomfort: Taking Mext 7.5 F Tablet after meals could help lessen this effect.

Mext 7.5 F Tablet contains two active ingredients:

Methotrexate (7.5 mg): This component acts by inhibiting an enzyme called dihydrofolate reductase in your body. This interference with DNA synthesis, repair, and cellular replication decreases the activity of the immune system in cases of rheumatoid arthritis, reducing inflammation and joint stiffness. In psoriasis, methotrexate slows down the rapid growth of skin cells, helping control the formation of scaly patches on the skin.
Folic acid (1 mg): A member of the B-vitamin family, folic acid plays a vital role in forming healthy cells, particularly red blood cells. In this combination, folic acid is included to prevent folate deficiency that can be caused by methotrexate therapy.

Pregnancy

Mext 7.5 F Tablet is contraindicated during pregnancy. If you are pregnant or planning to conceive, make sure to discuss this with your doctor before starting this medicine.
