INTRODUCTION ABOUT FOLITRAX 20MG TABLET

FOLITRAX 20MG TABLET contains Methotrexate
which belongs to the group of medicines called Antimetabolites. It is
used to manage rheumatoid arthritis and ALL (acute
lymphocytic/lymphoblastic leukemia) in adults. In addition, it is also
used to manage bone cancer and lung cancer. FOLITRAX 20MG TABLET is also
used to manage polyarticular juvenile idiopathic arthritis in children.

Rheumatoid
arthritis is an auto-immune disease that results in the inflammation of
bones due to the body’s own immune system. Acute
lymphocytic/lymphoblastic leukemia is a type of cancer that develops
from white blood cells in the bone marrow and may suddenly spread to
invade other body parts such as the spleen, brain, and lymph nodes.
Polyarticular juvenile idiopathic arthritis is characterized by the
involvement of five or more joints that are severe, active, juvenile,
and idiopathic in nature.

Before taking FOLITRAX 20MG TABLET, it

HOW FOLITRAX 20MG TABLET WORKS

FOLITRAX
20MG TABLET contains methotrexate, which works by interfering with the
growth of those cells in the body that reproduce quickly. As a result,
the growth of those cells gets retarded, thus serving as an anti-tumour
agent. Also, it decreases the undesired reactions of the body’s own
immune-defense mechanism, thereby working as an effective
immunosuppressant. Additionally, it also exhibits anti-inflammatory
effects, thereby reducing pain, swelling, and redness. As a result, it
manages the symptoms associated with diseases such as rheumatoid
arthritis.
