Hi lol, I know how you feel having no support. Folic acid lowers the side effects of the methotrexate I was told. That wasnât the case for me mind haha. As for how much you should take it varies due to methotrexate dose I believe. Hope you get the help you need soon x

hi LOL , as for folic acid , years ago it was only one 5mg tablet a week and now some consultants will give you 5mg six days a week as Bekki said they thought it would reduce the effects from Mtx but it helps with with the side effects like liver problems & & hair thinning & allows higher dose of Mtx but its only your consultant that can change it hope you are well and have a good new year
