Methotrexate is a well-established drug used in oncology, but could it also play a role in managing osteoarthritis? In this episode of Joint Action, Professor David Hunter is joined by Dr Anna Døssing and Professor Robin Christensen to explore the potential of methotrexate as a treatment for osteoarthritis pain.
They discuss:
- What methotrexate is and how it works
- Insights from a recent meta-analysis on its effectiveness and safety
- Why individual studies show mixed results
- Whether it might help people with hand or knee OA - especially those with signs of inflammation
- How dosing and side effects factor into clinical decision-making
Tune in for an honest, data-driven conversation about repurposing an old drug for a new purpose - and what it could mean for people living with osteoarthritis.
