METHOTREXATE SODIUM  (METHOTREXATE SODIUM):  Methotrexate is used to treat certain types of cancer or to control severe psoriasis or rheumatoid arthritis. It may also be used to control juvenile rheumatoid arthritis. Methotrexate belongs to a class of drugs known as antimetabolites. It works by slowing or stopping the growth of cancer cells and suppressing the immune system. Early treatment of rheumatoid arthritis with more aggressive therapy such as methotrexate helps to reduce further joint damage and to preserve joint function.   (Sources: U.S. Centers for Medicare Services, FDA) FDA Approval Date: 1953-01-01
