Effectiveness and tolerability of methotrexate in pulmonary sarcoidosis: A single center real-world study.

Conclusions: Nearly 80% of the sarcoidosis subjects had well response to MTX. Its effectiveness was irrelevant to the treatment dosages and baseline characteristics. A quite low relapse rate was witnessed in those complete responders discontinuing MTX therapies. The steroid-sparing effect, well drug tolerability and low drug withdrawal rate were observed in these patients even without folic acid supplements in clinical practice.
