Methotrexate....?


Has anyone who is taking Methotrexate now or in the past have experiences of Atrial fibrillation? My husband has had three episodes in a matter of months since starting to take Methotrexate...the doctors say there is no corrrolation but we wonder....any input would be appreciated.

I have never heard of any connection.

i was unable to find a connection, but i think it's worth investigating. you have to trust your gut. while you're at it, call the mfr. and the fda and ask them if there have been any reports of similar reactions.
