No test dosage is needed when initiating methotrexate for psoriasis, according to an international consensus on a uniform dosing regimen.
Among other agreed statements on management, the dermatologists decided the maximum treatment dose in children should be 15mg/m2/week and that folic acid should be supplemented weekly in all patients 24 hours after methotrexate intake.
