What Precautions Should Be Taken While On Apo-Methotrexate?

I am on apo-methotrexate 2.5mg it says on drug store info sheet not to have anyone come in contact with my stool urine.i am wondering if I have to use a condom when love making and can I still kiss my husband.it sounds like I have to be careful with my body fluids as well as no one should come in contact with these pills.

welcome to hcm,
side effectss of MEthotrexate include drowsiness, vomiting, nausea, and stomach pain.
precautions include methotrexate can make you unhealthy by getting infections or can worsen the infections you have. To prevent spreading of infections it is written in the info sheet not to have anyone come in contact with stool and urine.
hope this explains.
with regards
