METHODS OF THERAPY COMPRISING SIMULTANEOUS ADMINISTRATION OF METHOTREXATE AND FOLIC ACID

METHODS OF THERAPY COMPRISING SIMULTANEOUS ADMINISTRATION OF METHOTREXATE AND FOLIC ACID 5 Methotrexate (MTX) is an antineoplastic agent used the treatment of a wide variety of diseases including cancers and inflammatory autoimmune diseases such as psoriasis, Crohn's disease, and rheumatoid arthritis. Administered orally or by subcutaneous injection in low doses, MTX inhibits a number of folate dependent metabolic steps that lead to a state of effective folate 0 deficiency. It is likely that some of the adverse effects of MTX are due said folate deficiency, and the main factor affecting adherence to MTX is the occurrence of adverse effects, rather than lack of response. Although MTX side effects could be decreased by supplementation in folic acid (FA), the current guideline on folate administration is not precisely established. Now the inventors show that co-administration of MTX with FA on the same day is effective 5 compared to FA application one day after MTX. MTX metabolism was not affected, as demonstrated by the MTX-PG concentrations. The biological tolerance between the protocols was comparable. Thus, co-administration of MTX and FA seems to be possible and may be more convenient to the patients and improve compliance at the end..
