Trexo 2.5 Tablet 10 contains Methotrexate (2.5 mg), which operates in your body as follows:

• Inhibits dihydrofolate reductase: Methotrexate works by blocking an enzyme called dihydrofolate reductase in your body. This enzyme plays a crucial role in DNA synthesis, which is essential for cell growth and division.

• Suppresses the immune system: By inhibiting dihydrofolate reductase, methotrexate effectively suppresses the overactive immune system, reducing symptoms in diseases where the immune system mistakenly attacks the body's own tissues, like in rheumatoid arthritis and psoriasis.

• Shows anti-cancer activity: In the case of certain cancers, methotrexate prevents the growth and spread of cancer cells by disrupting their DNA synthesis, thereby slowing down or stopping the cancer's progression.

Remember, the above points are broad mechanisms of action and may vary based on the condition being managed. Always consult your doctor for more information.
