methotrexateFrom: babycatchers@aol.comSat Jun 24 13:44:53 2006
Has anyone had any experience with a father being on methotrxate and the wife getting pregnant? We have a patient whose husband contracted Dermatomyositis while stationed in Iraq. He has been on a course of methotexate and dapsine. They would like to have another child at some point in the future. I know one of the side effects of dapsine can be sterility, so it may take care of itself. The wife is worried what kind of problems would occur if she should get pregnant before the metrotrezate course is over. (He is on methotrate 15 mg q wk and they are telling him he will have to take it for life or take the chance of relapse.) The couple really want to have another child, but I am not sure what to advise them. She is one of our OB nurses, so I can't just refer the question. The literature talks about mothers and methotrexate, but not fathers. Any info would be appreciated. Vicki Vicki Smith, CNM West Virginia

The American Medical Association is no longer designating CME hours for AMA Category II CME credit. However, physicians themselves may self designate learning activities as Category II CME credit hours if they feel it is of sufficient educational merit and meets the formal definitions of continuing medical education. OBGYN.net believes these interaction in this forum meets these criteria. For further information see the AMA web site.
