Hello,
Oncotrex 10 (Methotrexate) is a well-tolerated drug and a disease-modifying anti-rheumatic drug(DMARD).
Potential side effects are many but mainly are Leukopenia; bone marrow depression; thrombocytopenia; anaemia; hypogammaglobulinemia; haemorrhage; septicemia. HEPA: Hepatotoxicity.
They are rare but requires periodic monitoring of CBC & Liver function tests.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
