EMA reviewing risk of dosing errors with methotrexate

[Fred]

I agree  but it's cheap and saves health services millions putting off putting patients on effective treatments for a few years
That's the only reason they make us jump through hoops and fail them before moving on
I know a few are successfully treated with methotrexate but usually it's a few months on methotrexate or cyclosporine or acetretin but they do tend to fail or have ongoing side effects that are hard to live with

I will stand corrected as you will know more than me, but isn't Fumaderm, Skilarence, Psorinovo chepaer and more effective to treat psoriasis ?

Bill's testament to how cheap it can be, not something I would recommend but he is using raw DMF and is getting much better results than any of our members using Methotrexate. The evidence is here for all to see.

People should stop defending Methotrexate as a treatment for psoriasis, it's had it's day. It may work for a while but the damage and failures are far too high, it is not cheaper in the long run as not many last long on it and have to eventually move onto DMF or Bio. It's time people woke up and dumped the drugs from way back that are proved to no longer be any good.

By saying it still is worthy after all these years is rubbish, we don't still put a coin in a box and ask to be connected to a landline so let's dump the poison and move on.

It's a poison and does not have a place any more in treating psoriasis. Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr

Sorry ............................................ my thoughts are well known on here and I stand by what I say. Methotrexate is poison and no longer needed for people with psoriasis. It will not help for long and 99.9% will hate it and have to move on to DMF or Bio but I'll leave it there.
