Folitrax 20 Injection 1ml contains the following active component:

• Methotrexate (20 mg): Methotrexate is an antimetabolite and folic acid antagonist. It acts by inhibiting the enzyme dihydrofolate reductase, which is crucial for the synthesis of DNA, RNA, and proteins. This disruption slows down or halts the growth of rapidly dividing cells, including cancer cells, and modulates the immune system in autoimmune conditions.
• Sodium Chloride (4.9 mg): It acts as an isotonic agent that helps maintain fluid balance and stability of the solution.

• Store in a cool, dry place at room temperature.
• Protect from direct light and heat.
• Keep out of reach of children.
• Do not use after the expiry date.
  
   

• Avoid alcohol and smoking to protect liver health.
• Follow a balanced diet rich in fruits, vegetables, and antioxidants to reduce inflammation.
• Include foods rich in omega-3 fatty acids such as salmon, flaxseeds, and walnuts.
• Maintain hydration to protect kidneys.
