What is Reditrex?

Reditrex is an FDA (U.S. Food and Drug Administration) approved medication manufactured by Cumberland Pharmaceuticals Inc. RediTrex is a folate analog metabolic inhibitor used for the:

• Management of severe, active rheumatoid arthritis (RA) and polyarticular juvenile idiopathic arthritis (pJIA) in patients who are not tolerant of or have had an inadequate response to first-line therapy
• Control of severe symptoms of psoriasis in adults who are not fully responsive to other therapy

RediTrex is not recommended for the treatment of neoplastic diseases

What doses of Reditrex are available?

Reditrex is available in injection form as single-dose prefilled syringes delivering methotrexate in the following dosage strengths: 7.5mg, 10 mg, 12.5 mg, 15 mg, 17.5 mg, 20 mg, 22.5 mg and 25 mg.

RediTrex is for once weekly subcutaneous administration in the abdomen or thigh. The starting dose of methotrexate for rheumatoid arthritis is 7.5 mg once weekly. For polyarticular juvenile idiopathic arthritis the starting dose is 10 mg/m2 once weekly. For psoriasis the starting dose is 10 to 25 mg once weekly of an oral, intramuscular, subcutaneous, or intravenous formulation. Otrexup (methotrexate subcutaneous injection) and Rasuvo (methotrexate subcutaneous auto-injector) are alternative brands of methotrexate.

You should take a folic acid supplement with methotrexate to prevent folate deficiency. Taking methotrexate can reduce levels of folate in your body. A lack of folate can lead an upset stomach, low blood cell counts, fatigue, muscle weakness, mouth sores, liver toxicity and central nervous system symptoms.

Please see the full prescribing information for the complete boxed warning, and always speak with a healthcare professional for medical advice about any changes to your dose so they can monitor and evaluate your condition.
