Fumaric acid esters safe and beneficial for long‐term clinical use

[jiml]

I was surprised to see "used in combination with Methotrexate" mentioned I would have thought one or the other, not both.

Taking one pill is bad enough for me let alone two to do the same job.

I noticed that as well, which is strange as when my rheumatologist suggested methotrexate for PSA  she said I would need to give up Fumaderm .... that’s when I said no thanks and am back under the dermatologist now and Fumaderm is controlling both conditions ( without methotrexate )

Don’t ever go to MTX  Jim !
Yesterday in a patients meeting I spoke to a doctor and heard from him that MTX does not do much for PsA. So it is totally senseless to use it in combination with DMF. This doctor has about 15 to 20 years of experience in prescribing DMF for Psoriasis, he is also a very knowledged internist. I did not agree with him all the way, but that happens sometimes with me...    

I wouldn’t go on to methotrexate again Caroline... it wasn’t my favourite, that’s why I stopped seeing the rheumatologist ... I always heed your advice
