I'm currently taking Methotrexate 5mg and a contraceptive tablet. I'm wondering, how long should I continue these medications? Also, is it advisable to consider phototherapy as a treatment option?
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
Taking Oncotrex (methotrexate) 5mg with a contraceptive tablet is a common treatment regimen for conditions like psoriasis or rheumatoid arthritis; the duration of treatment varies depending on the condition and response, but typically ranges from a few months to several years; regarding phototherapy, it may be advisable in conjunction with methotrexate treatment, but this should be discussed with your doctor, as phototherapy can increase the risk of skin cancer and other side effects.

View allI'm a bit confused about the difference between Omnacortil 5 and Wyslone 5. My doctor prescribed Wyslone 5, but the pharmacy only had Omnacortil 5 available. Is there any issue if I go with Omnacortil 5 instead of sticking strictly to the prescription? I'm worried about getting the right treatment.
Both Omnacortil 5 and Wysolone 5 contain the same active ingredient, which is Prednisolone. They are both corticosteroids used to treat various conditions such as inflammation, allergic reactions, and autoimmune disorders. Therefore, there should not be a significant difference between the two medications. You can go ahead and use Omnacortil 5 as a substitute for Wysolone 5 as per your doctor's prescription. Just make sure to follow the dosage instructions provided by your doctor.
