Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
Voraxaze is an antidote drug that contains Glucarpidase. It's used as an antidote for Methotrexate. You need to immediately go to an ER near you, as it's an anti cancer drug and also used in treating rheumatoid arthritis.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
