General & Family Physician,  's  Response
Hello,

Major & minor side effects for Folitrax 7.5 MG Tablet Diarrhea.

Joint pain, Abdominal pain, Swelling of feet or lower legs, Dizziness, Fever with chills.

Unusual bleeding, Blurred vision. These side effects go away with time.

If you use methotrexate for the long term, a liver biopsy is usually recommended.

Methotrexate use has rarely caused serious side effects, such as lung problems, lung infections (Pneumocystis jiroveci pneumonia), skin reactions, diarrhea, and mouth sores (ulcerative stomatitis).

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Take care

Regards,
Dr AJEET SINGH, General & Family Physician
