Well MTX has been used for many years for arthritis in usually slightly higher doses and even higher doses for several types of cancer so as regarding the safety of using it and side effects that is fairly well documented , what the study was trying to do is access the drug as a useful one for psoriasis and not really the safety side though obviously it would come into the conclusions as it will be a big factor that determines the usefulness of a drug to be used .
The main problem with MTX is that it is the old saying "give a dog a bad name" and that name is CANCER which is the reason that it was used in the first place so now it has this spectre in the back of peoples mind which they probably don't even acknowledge or realise but it is there and it now suffers from this and carries the prejudice with it and I suppose fear as well.
