TY - JOUR PY - 2016// TI - A case of methotrexate intoxication in a patient with psoriasis who drank beetroot juice during methotrexate treatment JO - Clinical and experimental dermatology A1 - Gönül, M. A1 - Keseroglu, H. A1 - Hacınecipoğlu, F. SP - 893 EP - 895 VL - 41 IS - 8 N2 - Methotrexate is extensively used in the treatment of psoriasis. Although safe and effective, its use may inadvertently lead to intoxication. We report a 50-year-old woman being treated with methotrexate for psoriasis who developed methotrexate intoxication after drinking beetroot juice as a herbal remedy. Patients should be warned about the potential adverse effects of herbal therapies during methotrexate treatment.
