Side effects- Mouth Lesions
Posted , 5 users are following.
hi I have been taking this drug by injection for over 3 years and have found it to be really beneficial in reducing pain and stiffness in my joints caused by RA. However after a few months I noticed slight lesions just inside my mouth which have become more inflamed recently. My specialist says this is not due to the methotrexate but my GP says it probably is. Does anyone else suffer with this?

I am taking MTX for an oral autoimmune disease, which involves blisters/lesions anyway. I try all sorts on them. Some people find Gengigel gel useful. I use Corsodyl mouthwash, which helps a little. A MaxFax surgeon told me to use Corsodyl gel to rub on the lesions but it is very difficult because the gel is too runny to rub on.
My Dermatologist also gave me some zinc to take. It is in the form of effervescent tablets which I 'swoosh & swig'!

I know I am repeating myself a little.
