[|Human|] My Mother recently is diagnosed with Rheumatoid Arthritis 6 Months back. Doctor has prescribed 1)Folitrax 15mg once a week 2)folic Acid 5mg once a day 3)Sazo 500 twice daily is this treatment good? shud we continue these medicines?as The Doc says she has to continue forever. folitrax(Methotrexate),Sazo 500 taken for long term will not have side effects? Should she go for Homoepathy/Ayurveda? should she use these drugs only when there is a flare or should she continue this forever?
[|AI|]  Hello, Indeed, her current treatment is a bit hard for her, but that's the perfect treatment for her rheumatoid arthritis. Usually, when used in long term we advise running liver/kidney and other blood tests to evaluate if their function has altered, in order to change dosage or therapy of her actual treatment. She can go for homeopathy, there is no problem. Unless, she might feel something unusual or if improved, should discuss with her doctor to stop her current treatment. All the best.
