🧬 What is Folitrax (Methotrexate)?
Folitrax is a widely prescribed formulation of Methotrexate, a powerful disease-modifying antirheumatic drug (DMARD) used to treat rheumatoid arthritis, psoriasis, juvenile idiopathic arthritis, and various cancers. It works by interfering with the growth of certain cells in the body, especially those that reproduce quickly—such as immune cells or cancer cells.

Manufactured by Ipca Laboratories Ltd, a well-known Indian pharmaceutical company with a global footprint, Folitrax is used worldwide as a cost-effective alternative to more expensive brands like Trexall in the United States.

This versatile medication is offered in a range of strengths and forms, allowing for individualized dosing. Folitrax has become a cornerstone in long-term autoimmune and cancer management, offering efficacy, reliability, and affordability.
