BOXED WARNING
METHOTREXATE SHOULD BE USED ONLY BY PHYSICIANS WHOSE
KNOWLEDGE AND EXPERIENCE INCLUDE THE USE OF ANTIMETABOLITE
THERAPY. BECAUSE OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SERIOUS TOXIC REACTIONS
(WHICH CAN BE FATAL):
METHOTREXATE SHOULD BE USED ONLY IN LIFE THREATENING NEOPLASTIC
DISEASES, OR IN PATIENTS WITH PSORIASIS OR RHEUMATOID ARTHRITIS
WITH SEVERE, RECALCITRANT, DISABLING DISEASE WHICH IS NOT
ADEQUATELY RESPONSIVE TO OTHER FORMS OF THERAPY.
DEATHS HAVE BEEN REPORTED WITH THE USE OF METHOTREXATE IN THE
TREATMENT OF MALIGNANCY, PSORIASIS, AND RHEUMATOID ARTHRITIS.
PATIENTS SHOULD BE CLOSELY MONITORED FOR BONE MARROW, LIVER,
LUNG AND KIDNEY TOXICITIES. (SEE PRECAUTIONS.)
PATIENTS SHOULD BE INFORMED BY THEIR PHYSICIAN OF THE RISKS
INVOLVED AND BE UNDER A PHYSICIAN'S CARE THROUGHOUT THERAPY.
THE USE OF METHOTREXATE HIGH DOSE REGIMENS RECOMMENDED FOR
OSTEOSARCOMA REQUIRES METICULOUS CARE. (SEE DOSAGE AND
ADMINISTRATION.) HIGH DOSE REGIMENS FOR OTHER NEOPLASTIC DISEASES
ARE INVESTIGATIONAL AND A THERAPEUTIC ADVANTAGE HAS NOT BEEN
ESTABLISHED.
METHOTREXATE FORMULATIONS AND DILUENTS CONTAINING PRESERVATIVES
MUST NOT BE USED FOR INTRATHECAL OR HIGH DOSE METHOTREXATE
THERAPY.
1. Methotrexate has been reported to cause fetal death and/or
congenital anomalies. Therefore, it
is not recommended for women of childbearing potential unless there is
clear medical
evidence that the benefits can be expected to outweigh the considered
risks. Pregnant women
with psoriasis or rheumatoid arthritis should not receive
methotrexate. (SEE
CONTRAINDICATIONS).
2. Methotrexate elimination is reduced in patients with impaired renal
functions, ascites, or
pleural effusions. Such patients require especially careful monitoring
for toxicity, and require
dose reduction or, in some cases, discontinuation of methotrexate
administration.
3. Unexpectedly severe (sometimes fatal) bone marrow suppression,
aplastic anemia, and
