Methotrexate (MTX) is restricted in dermatology due to toxicity, but remains vital for severe psoriasis and other skin diseases. Careful monitoring manages side effects, though unpredictable lung issues can still occur.

Area of Science:

  • Dermatology
  • Pharmacology

Context:

  • Methotrexate (MTX) prescription in dermatology is limited.
  • Alternative treatments like phototherapy and etretinate are available for psoriasis.

Purpose:

  • To review the utility and risks of methotrexate in dermatological conditions.
  • To highlight the importance of understanding MTX adverse effects.

Summary:

  • Despite toxicity concerns and alternatives, MTX remains crucial for severe psoriasis and diseases like dermatomyositis.
  • Adverse effects include gastrointestinal, bone marrow, liver, and lung issues.
  • Hypersensitivity pneumonopathy is an unpredictable, serious risk.

Impact:

  • Informed MTX use balances efficacy and safety in complex dermatological cases.
