Donna from the USA asks: Do I need to continue taking folic acid if I have stopped methotrexate?
Folic acid’s role is to reduce the risk of side effects from methotrexate. It does not help treat rheumatic conditions itself. Therefore, in most cases, if the only reason a patient was taking folic acid was because they had been on methotrexate, it would be considered appropriate and safe to stop the folic acid.
