Vitamin C supplements and Methotrexate
Posted , 4 users are following.
Hello everyone, I have a couple of questions.
Is is it ok to take a course of Vitamen C such as Halib Orange to encourage healing whilst on Methotrexate even though the drug's purpose is to suppress the immune system?
Also is there a minimum/maximum time to be on this drug? I have been taking it constantly for over 4 years and feel like I need a break now. It has certainly helped my RA.

I take 1000mgs of slow release vitamin C every night along with 1000mgs of cod liver oil.
Been doing this for a number of years and i am on 20mgs of MTX which i have been on since May 2002.
I am also on a beta blocker, statin and blood presure tablets to.

I am also on MTX and I take Marshmellow Root or Licorice Root to help my kidney and liver as MTX comprimises them. I also take Folic Acid on a daily basis with the exception of the day I take the MTX

Been on meth for psoriasis. Was not happy with side effects. Told consultant not taking it anymore off it now.
