It is recently reported as a case study in a medical journal that Sodium level in blood falls down to 119 mEq/L leading to hyponatrenia. Will anybody suggest if it is so what precautions can be taken to enhance the sodium level in blood of RA patient using methotrexate?

Methotrexate for RA can rarely cause low sodium (hyponatremia), as reported in a recent case study. Here's the key takeaway:
- Monitor electrolytes: Doctors usually check sodium levels during methotrexate treatment.
- Stay hydrated: Drinking plenty of fluids helps maintain electrolyte balance.
- Talk to your doctor: If you're on methotrexate and concerned about sodium, discuss it with your doctor for personalized advice.
Remember, consult a healthcare professional for any medical questions. They can provide the best guidance based on your specific situation.
