Trexate Ingredients and Usage
Trexate contains Methotrexate, which belongs to the class of medicines known as antimetabolites. In oncology, it is used to treat various malignancies, including acute lymphoblastic leukemia, breast cancer, lung cancer, head and neck cancers, and certain types of lymphoma.
In addition to its use in cancer therapy, Trexate is prescribed for non-oncological conditions that have not responded to other treatments. These include severe, active rheumatoid arthritis in adults and severe, disabling psoriasis that does not respond to topical therapies or phototherapy.
How Does Trexate Work?
Methotrexate works by interfering with the growth of certain cells in the body, especially cells that reproduce quickly, such as cancer cells, skin cells, and immune cells. It does this by inhibiting the enzyme dihydrofolate reductase, which is essential for the synthesis of DNA and RNA.
By blocking this enzyme, the medicine slows down the division and spread of cancer cells, reduces the rapid overproduction of skin cells in psoriasis, and suppresses the overactive immune response that causes joint inflammation in rheumatoid arthritis.
How to Use Trexate
Trexate 2ml Injection is administered as an injection into a muscle, under the skin, or into a vein. It must only be prepared and administered by a qualified healthcare professional in a clinical setting.
The exact method of administration and the treatment plan are determined entirely by your doctor based on your specific medical condition, body weight, and response to therapy.
It is crucial to attend all scheduled appointments for your injections and follow-up laboratory tests to ensure the medicine is working safely and effectively.

Certain antibiotics, such as penicillins and sulfonamides, may reduce the clearance of Methotrexate from the body.
Other medicines that can cause liver damage, such as leflunomide, should be used with extreme caution.
Proton pump inhibitors used for acid reflux may increase Methotrexate levels and should be monitored closely.
Avoid consuming alcohol during treatment, as it significantly increases the risk of severe liver damage.
