Would I have less nausea and headaches if I took methotrexate injection instead of the 15mg tablet for psoriatic arthritis?

Only 2 oral doses (2 weeks of treatment) changed to 10 mg in 1 dose per week. Next dose at 15 mg. Taking "euro-folic" 5 mg the next day. Dovobet ineffective.

Hello,

Indeed, some people experience fewer side effects from methotrexate when it is given by injection. This is especially true for digestive side effects however, such as nausea and vomiting.

Good day,

Alexandre Chagnon, pharmacist
