INTRODUCTION ABOUT MEDITREX 5 TABLET

MEDITREX 5 TABLET contains Methotrexate,
which belongs to the group of medicines called Antimetabolites.
MEDITREX 5 TABLET is used to manage active rheumatoid arthritis in
adults, which is a form of severe arthritis occurring due to unknown
reasons (idiopathic) and old age and is non-responsive to conventional
painkillers (such as Non-Steroidal Anti Inflammatory Drugs Ex.
Aceclofenac).

MEDITREX 5 TABLET is also used to manage its
polyarthritic forms (characterized by the involvement of five or more
joints), which are severe, active, and idiopathic in nature and affect
young people (Juvenile Idiopathic Arthritis, JIA).

MEDITREX 5
TABLET is also used to manage psoriasis and relapsed (reoccurred) and
refractory (unaffected by other conventional managements) Non-Hodgkin’s
lymphoma, which is a type of cancer of the lymphatic system.

Psoriasis
is a skin condition characterized by itchy scales that is not
responsive to conventional managements such as phototherapy and
retinoids.

Before taking MEDITREX 5 TABLET, it is recommended to

HOW MEDITREX 5 TABLET WORKS

MEDITREX
5 TABLET contains methotrexate that 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 and psoriasis.
