All treatments have risks or problems. But we have to go by what we think is best for us as individuals.
Personally Methotrexate gave me huge problems in pill or injection, but we are not all the same. I can understand your astonishment that they had to mention "no patients died or had serious infections, malignancies, or major adverse cardiovascular events" But today they have to tell us if 1 person may sneeze after opening a bottle of wine. It doesn't mean we will all sneeze and it doesn't mean that methotrexate will work for you or you may die. It is a study and a study based on what they wanted to study, and could even be based on the way they want the result to be.
I'm not saying the study is wrong or that my opinion of methotrexate is wrong. What you have to do as the person using it is to weigh up what you think and report back to help others.
I give the information published on the most reliable sources and post it here, but it's our members that give the best conclusions in my opinion.
I don't know the difference between oral and injection, all I can do is say that for me they were both something I would never take again. I too would also like to see a comparison between methothrexate and other treatments, but to be fair a study has to draw a line somewhere.
At the end of the day we all have to decide for ourselves the treatment that we think is best for us.
