Should I Keep Taking Folic Acid After Stopping Methotrexate?
In many cases, folic acid is taken specifically to reduce side effects from methotrexate, so once methotrexate is stopped, the main reason for supplementation often disappears. However, you may still benefit from continuing folic acid if you have a deficiency, are pregnant or planning pregnancy, take other folate-depleting medications, or follow a diet low in folate. The safest approach is to review your individual situation with the prescriber who managed your methotrexate therapy.
