Benefits of METHOTEX 500MG/20ML INJECTIONArrow

  • METHOTEX 500MG/20ML INJECTION is a medication that works by inhibiting an enzyme called dihydrofolic acid reductase.

These tissues are generally more sensitive to the effects of the medication.
  • In the context of cancer treatment, METHOTEX 500MG/20ML INJECTION works by slowing down the rate at which cancer cells grow and spread throughout the body. In autoimmune diseases, it acts as an immunosuppressant, helping to suppress the overactive immune system that is attacking the body's own tissues. This dual action makes it a valuable medication for a range of conditions.
