CompositionBiotrexate 500mg Injection is primarily used for treating various types of cancer, including leukaemia, lymphoma, osteosarcoma, and several solid tumours such as breast, cervical, and lung cancers. It belongs to a group of chemotherapy medications called antimetabolites, which work by interfering with cell growth and division.
This injection also helps manage severe psoriasis that hasn't responded to other treatments. Additionally, it's used for severe, active rheumatoid arthritis when other treatments have failed. In these conditions, the medicine helps control inflammation and reduce the abnormal immune response that causes symptoms.
The injection must be administered only by a healthcare professional in a hospital or clinical setting. You should inform your doctor about any existing health conditions or medicines you're taking before starting treatment. If you notice any side effects during treatment, such as unusual tiredness, fever, or breathing difficulties, notify your doctor immediately. It's important to keep all scheduled appointments for administration and monitoring throughout your treatment period.
