Hydroxychloroquine and Folic Acid

[nh_user_386062]

Just trying to hear other people's opinion on the benefits of taking Folic acid and hydroxychloroquine with Methotrexate. I stopped taking these two medications since switching to MTX injections and I've never mentioned this to the doctors during routine checks and so far I'm feeling much better on MTX alone.

Has anyone had a repercussion of not using any of these tablets where it's been prescribed along with MTX?

You should be taking the folic acid but, equally, you should be discussing this with your doctor

I was told that the folic acid is a must as it helps to reduce the toxic effects of the Mtx. You should definitely mention this to your doctor next time.

I'm still on the pill form and take folic acid with no side effects.I was told the folic acid is also good for other things like skin, hair, etc
