Your doctor has prescribed a methotrexate device, Methofill^® SelfDose, to treat one of the following conditions:

• Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) in adult patients. This is a chronic (or long-term) disease which is characterised by inflammation and swelling of the joints
• Polyarthritic forms of severe active juvenile idiopathic arthritis when treatment with nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (otherwise known as NSAIDs) have not helped. Arthritis is classed as juvenile arthritis when it affects children and adolescents younger than 16 years of age
• Severe psoriatic arthritis in adult patients. Psoriatic arthritis is a kind of arthritis with psoriatic lesions of the skin and nails, especially at the joints of fingers and toes
• Severe psoriasis which has not responded to other forms of treatment. Psoriasis is a common chronic skin disease, characterised by red patches covered by thick, dry, silvery skin
• Crohn’s disease in adult patients. This is a type of inflammatory bowel disease which can cause abdominal pain, diarrhoea, vomiting and/or weight loss

Methofill^® modifies and slows down the progression of the disease.
