Life-Changing or Life-Threatening? My Experience with Trexall 7.5mg Tablets for Rheumatoid Arthritis
I've been on Trexall 7.5mg Tablets for about 6 months now to treat my rheumatoid arthritis and I've had a mix of good and not-so-good experiences. At first, I was nervous about the potential side effects, but my doctor assured me that treating rheumatoid arthritis with this drug was a common and effective practice, and that serious side effects were rare. So I went for it, and initially, things were great. I noticed less joint pain and inflammation, but I also started to experience some hair loss. I'm still not sure if I can blame the medication or not. What I'm not sure about is whether or not it's worth it, in the long run, to treat my RA with Trexall. The pain and inflammation are down, but I want to know if other people with RA and psoriasis are having better results with this drug. I'm also curious about whether anybody knows what the chances are of developing liver problems or infections. It's all a little scary. Anyway, I'd really appreciate some insight from others who are taking or have taken Trexall for their autoimmune diseases. Yes, I know my doctor is there to help, but it's always good to get some firsthand experience too.

I've been on Trexall for 3 years now for my psoriasis. It's been a game-changer. My skin is almost clear, and I haven't had any major side effects. Just the occasional nausea, but nothing I can't handle. You just have to listen to your body and your doctor. If you're worried, you should definitely speak to your doctor. They can help you manage your concerns.
I've been taking Trexall for a year now, and I haven't had any major side effects. I've got a few more grey hairs, but it's worth it for the relief from my RA.
When I was first prescribed Trexall, I did a ton of research. It's got some potential scary side effects, but I haven't experienced any. I'm exercising and eating healthy, too, which has helped in a lot of ways. I'm not saying that Trexall will be the right choice for everyone, but it has made me feel better about myself.
I've been on it for years for my RA. I do get the occasional cold, but nothing major. Just listen to your doctor and keep up with your blood tests. Also, make sure not to take any NSAIDs because that can cause liver problems, too.
