i am taking Otrexup now and the past week end I could hardly get up, stand up, or walk. My Dr. sent me predisone Mon. and I am much better, but should I continue to take Otrexup while on the predisone? I cannot reach my Dr. to ask because of holiday week end. Thank you

Hello,
Oxetrup (methotrexate) can be used in combination with Prednisone. But in your case, I think you should consult with the doctor who prescribed Otrexup as you are having severe side effects like getting difficulty in walking or getting up. Better not to start taking it for now until you see your doctor.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
