FAQs about Trexall
What should I do if I miss a dose?
If you miss a dose of Trexall, take it as soon as you remember on the same day. If it is almost time for your next dose, skip the missed dose and continue with your regular schedule. Do not take two doses at the same time to make up for a missed dose. This information is provided in the Patient Counseling Information section of the label.
Can I take Trexall while pregnant or breastfeeding?
Trexall is not recommended for use during pregnancy due to the potential for harm to the fetus. Women who are pregnant or planning to become pregnant should discuss the risks with their healthcare provider. Methotrexate is excreted in breast milk, so breastfeeding while taking Trexall is not advised. This information is found in the Warnings and Precautions section of the label.
Can I stop taking Trexall suddenly?
It is important not to stop taking Trexall suddenly without consulting your healthcare provider, as abrupt discontinuation may lead to a worsening of your condition. Your prescriber will determine the appropriate course of action regarding your treatment. This warning is included in the Dosage and Administration section of the label.
How should I store Trexall?
Trexall should be stored at room temperature, away from moisture and heat. Keep the medication out of reach of children. This storage information is specified in the Storage section of the label.
