Methotrexate can be used to treat severe cases of psoriasis (a skin disease) and rheumatoid arthritis (a disease of the joints). It is usually used for patients who have tried other treatments but their illness has not improved. It helps patients with psoriasis by killing the cells in the skin which are growing too quickly. It is these fast growing cells which cause the raised patches of skin in psoriasis. In the treatment of rheumatoid arthritis, methotrexate is thought to stop or reduce inflammation in the joints by altering the body's defence mechanism in the immune system. Methotrexate can also be used to treat several kinds of cancer, in particular: - acute leukaemias - Non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma - soft tissue and bone sarcomas - solid tumours like breast, lung, head and neck, bladder, cervical, ovarian and testicular cancer.
