Does my child need any special checks while on methotrexate?
Your child must have regular blood tests every two to eight weeks. Most children do not have any problems but if they do occur, the methotrexate can be briefly stopped or the dose reduced, with the side effects then usually disappearing. Children treated with methotrexate will be given a card to record the results of these blood tests; this should always be brought to your clinic appointment.
