✔️ Pharmacology

Target Enzyme: Dihydrofolic Acid Reductase

Mode of Action:

  • Methotrexate 10 mg inhibits dihydrofolic acid reductase.
  • This enzyme is essential for reducing dihydrofolates to tetrahydrofolates, necessary carriers of one-carbon groups in the synthesis of nucleotides and thymidylate.
  • By inhibiting this process, Methotrexate 10 mg disrupts DNA synthesis, repair, and cellular replication.

Impact on Proliferating Tissues:

  • Actively proliferating tissues, including malignant cells, bone marrow, fetal cells, buccal and intestinal mucosa, and cells of the urinary bladder, are more sensitive to Methotrexate 10 mg's effect.
  • Malignant tissues with higher cellular proliferation may experience impaired growth without irreversible damage to normal tissues.

Methotrexate 10 mg's interference with dihydrofolic acid reductase disrupts key processes involved in DNA synthesis and cellular replication. This targeted action makes it effective in impeding the growth of actively proliferating tissues, particularly malignant cells while minimizing irreversible damage to normal tissues.

✔️ Dosage & Administration:

Take Methotrax 15mg Tablet as advised by your physician. Swallow the medicine with a glass of water. Do not crush or chew the medicine. Your doctor will decide the correct dose and duration for you depending on your age, body weight, and disease condition.
