		<description><![CDATA[According a recent study done by researchers in Berlin, if a patient taking methotrexate (MTX) for psoriasis does not show significant improvement in after 12 weeks, then increasing dosage will most likely not improve their condition.  According to this report, the maximum dosage recommended for anyone taking MTX for psoriasis is 20 mg per week.  [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Hydroxyurea is considered a good alternative for those who are physically unable to take methotrexate.  Like methotrexate, hydroxyurea inhibits DNA synthesis (cell reproduction) thus limiting the effects of psoriasis and other hyperprolific cells such as cancer. Hydroxyurea is considered &#8220;second&#8221; to methotrexate for the purposes of treating psoriasis because it&#8217;s generally not as effective while [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Methotrexate (or &#8216;MTX&#8217; for short) keeps unhealthy cells from reproducing too quickly.  Psoriasis and cancer are two examples of unhealthy cell proliferation, which MTX is designed to prevent.  The discovery of MTX led to what is now modern chemotherapy.  As you might imagine, you don&#8217;t need as much of this drug to fight off psoriasis as you [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Methotrexate is used most commonly to treat cancer because it inhibits rapid cell production.  It was found coincidentally to suppress psoriasis outbreaks, which makes sense since psoriasis causes excessive skin-cell production.  Generally, this drug is not recommended unless absolutely necessary because its side effects can be so severe (even life threatening). Methotrexate is an extremely [...]]]></description>
