Don't Let New Methotrexate Dosage Forms Lead to Errors

April 2018

There will be more chances for methotrexate errors...due to more use of SUBCUTANEOUS methotrexate.

Methotrexate mishaps can cause liver damage, immunosuppression, or death. Ensure your patients on methotrexate stay safe.

Watch for Rxs that don't list a dosage form. Methotrexate comes in oral tabs, single- and multidose vials of injectable solution, and prefilled syringes.
