📋Overview
Methotrexate is a medication that affects cell growth and immune system activity. It is commonly associated with the management of certain cancers, such as leukemia and lymphoma, as well as autoimmune conditions like rheumatoid arthritis and psoriasis. By interfering with the metabolism of folic acid, methotrexate helps control abnormal cell proliferation and immune responses. Its use spans both oncology and rheumatology due to its versatile effects on the body.
