Experience with methotrexate in a patient with calcium pyrophosphate crystal deposition disease

https://doi.org/10.14412/1996-7012-2019-4-96-98

Abstract

The paper discusses the results of using methotrexate (MTX) in real clinical practice in a patient with calcium pyrophosphate crystal deposition resistant to traditional anti-inflammatory drugs (colchicine, nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, and hydroxychloroquine) It demonstrates the efficiency and possibility of safely using MTX at a dose of 20 mg/week during a year.
