First of all Folitrax (methotrexate) is prescribed once weekly, not daily. So if you are taking it daily, reconfirm with your doctor. Moreover, if the current treatment doesn't suit you, there are number of alternative newer drugs for Ankylosing Spondylitis treatment. Rheumatologists are the doctors who particularly specialise in the management of Ankylosing Spondylitis and other arthritis, and are update with all newer medicines and their side effects
Next Steps
