About Methora 5 mg Tablets

Methora 5 mg Tablets contain Methotrexate, used in the management of rheumatoid arthritis, severe psoriasis, psoriatic arthritis, and certain types of cancer. It belongs to a class of medicines known as antimetabolites and works by slowing the growth of abnormal cells while helping regulate overactive immune responses. It is also prescribed for juvenile rheumatoid arthritis and the lymphatic system. Methotrexate acts by blocking the enzyme dihydrofolate reductase (DHFR), thereby interfering with the synthesis of DNA, RNA, and proteins required for the growth and division of rapidly dividing cells. In rheumatoid arthritis and other autoimmune conditions, it also reduces inflammation by increasing adenosine levels and suppressing the activity of inflammatory immune cells, thereby decreasing joint swelling, pain, and stiffness.
