Meditrex 7.5 Tablet 10 contains methotrexate (7.5 mg), which acts on your body in the following ways:

• Inhibits Dihydrofolate Reductase: Methotrexate works by blocking an enzyme in your body called dihydrofolate reductase. This enzyme plays a key role in the creation of DNA and RNA in your cells.

• Slows Cell Division: By inhibiting dihydrofolate reductase, methotrexate effectively slows down the growth and multiplication of rapidly dividing cells such as cancer cells and immune system cells that cause inflammation in conditions like rheumatoid arthritis and psoriasis.
