• Avoid alcohol entirely: Combining alcohol with this medicine significantly increases the risk of severe liver damage. It is safest to avoid all alcoholic beverages during your treatment.
• Limit caffeine intake: Avoid drinking large amounts of coffee, black tea, or energy drinks, especially on the days you take your methotrexate dose, as caffeine can reduce the effectiveness of the treatment.
• Practice strict sun safety: This medicine can make your skin highly sensitive to sunlight. Wear a broad-spectrum sunscreen (SPF 30 or higher), protective clothing, and a wide-brimmed hat whenever you go outdoors.
• Maintain excellent oral hygiene: Use a soft-bristled toothbrush and rinse your mouth regularly with water to prevent and soothe mild mouth sores.

• Use a calendar: Always mark your dosing days clearly on a calendar to avoid taking this weekly medication on consecutive days, which can cause severe toxicity.
• Verify your schedule: Double-check your prescription bottle before taking each dose to make sure you are taking the correct tablet on the correct day.
• Use highly effective birth control: Both men and women must use reliable contraception during treatment and for at least six months after stopping, as this medicine can cause severe birth defects.
• Avoid live vaccines: Do not receive live vaccines (such as the shingles, measles, or yellow fever vaccines) while taking this medicine, as your immune system may be too weak to handle them safely.
• Keep your blood test appointments: You must complete all scheduled routine blood tests so your doctor can regularly check your liver damage markers, kidney function, and blood cell counts.
