Study this Methotrexate NCLEX mnemonic and other mnemonics with Pixorize.

Methotrexate is a medication that works by blocking or inhibiting folate. This blocks cell division, which can be used to kill rapidly-dividing cells. Due to this, methotrexate is often used as a chemotherapy to treat various forms of cancer. It is also used for its anti-inflammatory effects to treat autoimmune diseases like rheumatoid arthritis. Side effects of methotrexate include hepatotoxicity, bone marrow suppression, and gastrointestinal disturbances, including stomatitis. Folic acid supplements may help alleviate severe GI side effects, but remind patients to consult with their doctor beforehand. Finally, methotrexate is teratogenic and should not be taken by pregnant women.
