MTX and heartburn | Arthritis Information

Does anyone get heartburn when they take oral MTX?  If anyone did get heartburn with the oral mtx, did that go away with injectible mtx?

Thanks for any information regarding that!

Oh goodness the heartburn on oral mtx.  And the nausea.  And the vomiting.  Pepcid didn't even help the heartburn.  I am much better now on injectable mtx.  Just tired and more foggy the day after.  This week I am tired the day of the shot.  But I have been more stressed than usual this week and that could make a difference.  Make sure you still take that folic acid if you switch. 

Thank you for answering. I thought I was going crazy.  I don't have any other GI symptoms, I guess I'm really lucky.  The heartburn is horrendous though.  I only get heartburn and mouth sores.  I'm going to see if he will switch me during my appt next week. 

Thanks again.

Lori
