How Does Rheumatrex Work?

Methotrexate which is Rheumatrex generic name, is a type of enzyme inhibitor. Methotrexate prevents specific enzymes from providing nucleotide synthesis and cell division, which in turn stops inflammation and abnormal cell growth.

Rheumatoid Arthritis:

Rheumatrex is used for the treatment and management of rheumatoid arthritis (RA) where other arthritis medications have failed to improve symptoms. This drug may be used on its own or with other medications to help treat RA. Although the reason is unknown to experts, this medication is a powerful medication that can alleviate painful arthritis symptoms and slow disease progression.

Psoriasis:

Psoriasis is a chronic skin disease that causes skin rashes to flare up periodically. Flare-ups are often red, scaly patches that are dry and cause itching, burning, and sometimes bleeding. Flare-ups typically come and go in cycles, and sometimes rashes can remain on the skin for months at a time before disappearing. Psoriasis has no known cure, which is why this medication is used to prevent flare-ups and improve the conditions of the disease when other therapies have failed to do so. This medication has properties that prevent the growth of abnormal cells, which is the mechanism responsible for stopping the formation of rashes.

Cancer:

Rheumatrex is used in the treatment of some types of cancers, often in combination with other medications or treatments. Rheumatrex is capable of killing off abnormally rapid cell growth and preventing the metabolization of cells, which is why it’s used to treat some forms of cancer. This medication has been used for the treatment of breast cancer, head and neck cancer, some forms of leukemia, lung cancer, some types of lymphomas, and osteosarcoma.
