Is there a generic version available for Otrexup?

Methotrexate injection solution is available as a generic from several manufacturers, including Mylan, West-Ward, and Hikma. Another brand-name version of injectable methotrexate is called Rasuvo. It's important to discuss formulation and delivery options with your doctor, as not all versions are interchangeable.
What is Otrexup, and how is it used?
Otrexup is a once-weekly subcutaneous injection prescribed for rheumatoid arthritis, polyarticular juvenile idiopathic arthritis, or severe psoriasis when other treatments have failed. It contains methotrexate, which helps modulate an overactive immune system that attacks the body's own tissues. The injection is administered under the skin of the abdomen or thigh. Strict adherence to the once-weekly schedule is critical. Important precautions include avoiding alcohol to reduce liver risk, limiting sun exposure, and not receiving live vaccines. You should also inform your doctor of all medications and medical conditions, and avoid driving until you know how the medication affects you. Otrexup must be stored safely away from children and pets.
