• Antimetabolite activity: Methotrexate functions as an antimetabolite, meaning it interferes with cellular metabolism. In simple terms, it disrupts the normal functioning of cells.
• Folic acid antagonist: As a folic acid antagonist, methotrexate inhibits an enzyme crucial for the synthesis of folic acid in your body. Folic acid is needed for cell growth and division.
• Inhibits inflammation: By inhibiting certain enzymes, methotrexate reduces inflammation in your body. This helps manage symptoms in inflammatory conditions like rheumatoid arthritis and psoriasis.
