Anti-Metabolites And Immunosuppressants

Methotrexate is used in the treatment of rheumatoid arthritis and psoriasis. Methotrexate is an immunosuppressant. In rheumatoid arthritis, it works by decreasing the activity of the body’s immune system. This decreases swelling, reduces pain and stiffness, and improves function. In psoriasis, it works by slowing down the rapid growth of skin cells.
