Imutrex 20 MG Tablet 10 contains methotrexate (20 mg), which works on the body as follows:

• Dihydrofolate reductase inhibition: Methotrexate blocks the enzyme dihydrofolate reductase, which is essential for producing tetrahydrofolate, a substance necessary for DNA and RNA synthesis.

• Cell division prevention: By interfering with DNA and RNA production, methotrexate prevents cells from dividing and multiplying, particularly affecting rapidly dividing cells like cancer cells.

• Immune system modulation: In autoimmune conditions like rheumatoid arthritis and psoriasis, methotrexate suppresses overactive immune responses by affecting lymphocyte (a type of white blood cell) proliferation.

• Anti-inflammatory action: The medicine reduces inflammation by decreasing the production of cytokines, proteins that trigger and maintain inflammatory processes in the body.
