Short Description

Ethitrex 7.5 Tablets contain Methotrexate 7.5 mg, a prescription medicine used under specialist supervision for rheumatoid arthritis, severe psoriasis, psoriatic arthritis, and certain cancers. It helps reduce inflammation and suppress abnormal immune activity.

Product Description

Ethitrex 7.5 Tablets are prescription tablets containing Methotrexate I.P. 7.5 mg, an antimetabolite and disease-modifying antirheumatic drug (DMARD). Methotrexate is widely used under specialist supervision to treat autoimmune disorders such as rheumatoid arthritis, severe psoriasis, and psoriatic arthritis, as well as certain cancers depending on the prescribed indication.

Methotrexate works by interfering with the growth of rapidly dividing cells and by reducing abnormal immune system activity. In autoimmune diseases, it helps decrease inflammation, joint swelling, pain, stiffness, and disease progression. In dermatological conditions, it helps slow excessive skin cell production and reduce inflammation.

This medicine should be taken exactly as prescribed, as Methotrexate is commonly administered once weekly for many non-cancer indications. Taking it more frequently than prescribed can result in serious or life-threatening toxicity.

Each tablet contains:

Methotrexate I.P. – 7.5 mg
Excipients – q.s.

Regular monitoring of blood counts, liver function, kidney function, and other laboratory parameters is usually required during treatment. Folic acid supplementation may be prescribed separately by your physician to reduce certain side effects.

Store below the recommended temperature in a cool, dry place away from moisture and direct sunlight. Keep out of reach of children.
