Safety of methotrexate administration in women with pregnancy of unknown location deemed to have high risk of ectopic pregnancy

CONCLUSIONS: Current guidelines used to predict high risk of EP among PUL population are not safe enough to avoid inadvertent MTX administration to women with an underlying viable IUP. These guidelines need to be wisely used to ensure that no wanted pregnancy is exposed to MTX. Women with PULs should be carefully monitored and MTX should be used with judicious care when the location of pregnancy is yet to be confirmed. This article is protected by copyright.
