Methotrexate and folic

[Ladybug12]

As anyone here been advised to take folic pills in one dose of 5mg once a week?

I'll tag Jenn - her son was recently advised that I think.

Generally, it is 1 mg daily and it is increased to 2 mg daily if the kiddo has side effects.

My daughter takes 20MG of Methotrexate once a week (Friday evenings) and 1MG of Folic Acid everyday except on Friday.

Just answered other thread - but yep, my son just started 5mg weekly folic acid the day after he takes MTX. When I asked the doc, she said he could do 1mg daily instead if we preferred. Asked the pharmacist too, either way doesn't really matter, I guess.
