Q

Methotrexate indications

A

RA, Psoriasis, Oncology uses , and off label

RA: 7.5 mg /week PO single dose or 2. 5 mg PO q12 hR x 3 doses given once weekly. Max 20 mg weekly

Psoriasis : Oral 2.5 - 5 mg q12 hours for 3 doses per week or ORAL, IM, IV, SQ: 10 - 25 mg once weekly. Folic acid 1- 5 mg daily ( except MTX days ) to decrease side effects

Oncology uses: acute lymphoblastic leukemia ( ALL ), meningeal leukemia, intrathecal, breast cancer, head and neck cancer
10,000 mg/ mˆ2 ( really high dose) then we give leukovorin. So it works on faster replciatign cells ( like cancer ) then give leukovorin to stop it from working

Off label: Crohn’s disease, ectopic pregnancy

Pregnancy caterogy X

Q

Methotrexate side effects

A

M- mucocytosis ( sores in mouth/ throat ) - magic mouthwash
H - Hepatotoxicity : avoid alcohol
O - make a sun : photosensitivity
R - methtRexate - renal toxicity ( keep the urine alkaline, give patient sodium bicarbonate to protect the kidneys and hydrate )
X- chest X-ray, : pulmonary fibrosis, and Pregnacy category X

drugs that impair MTX excretion: nsaids, Asa, PCN, probenaecid, bactrim, PPI, stop before giving methotrexate

Q

Methotrexate ( drugs that are given with )

A

Leukovorin: folinic acid to stop methotrexate from working

1 mg of folate per day on day you dont do methotrexate to reduce common toxicities of methotrexate

• Glucarpidase ( vorxaze)
Say you have problems with kidneys ( methotrexate goes through kidneys ) so give voraxze injectable enzyme that breaks down methotrexate helps MTX exit kidneys easier.

Q

Fluorouracil ( 5-FU )

A

Adrucil ( IV ) : when you give IV formulation, its opposite of MTX, we give leucovorin with 5FU at the same time to make 5FU better.

Increases INR and bleeding with warfarin / hand foot syndrome ( bottom of hand and feet get red, peeling, cracking)
Alopecia, mucocytosis , photosensitivity,

Topical cream : Efudex 5% ( cream with highest concentration of 5Fu in it. Use for actinic or solar keratosis/ superficial basal cell carcinoma ). Put on skin, it turns, red, painful, kills those cells, so we can kill skin cancer cells.

Others: Carac 0.5%, fluroplex 1%, tolak 4%,

Q

Mercaptopurine ( 6- MP )

A

What RA med turns into 6-MP: azathiopurine ( IMURAN ). DDI : imuran and allopurinol/febuxostat. If add allopurinol you decrease of imuran and or 6MP. both 6MP and IMURAN need Xanathine oxidase to be metabolized. If you add allopurinol and block xanithine oxidase, you cant metabolize 6MP and you’ll have to reduce the dose of the 6MP drug.

Too much 6MP you get hyperpigmentation of skin and skin .

2) DDI with bactrim. Bactrim itself can cause bone marrow suppression ( myelosuppressive ) and if you add 6MP you can enhance Myelosuppressive effect.
