[The use of methotrexate for the treatment of sarcoidosis (data from a controlled prospective study)]
Abstract:
We estimated the effectiveness and safety of methotrexate monotherapy of sarcoidosis in 63 patients refractory to the previous treatment. Methotrexate was given weekly at a dose of 5-20 mg. 54% of the patients reported improvement of their condition. Parameters of spirogram and the ray picture improved in 63.2 and 54% of the cases respectively. Methotrexate proved safe and had to be discontinued only in 12.6% of the patients. It is concluded that methotrexate can be used at least in half of the cases as a safe alternative to systemic steroid therapy.
