Part Descriptions
LP16198-1 Methotrexate
High-dose methotrexate (MTX) is an antimetabolite drug used in treatment of cancer, and low-dose methotrexate (MTX) is used as a disease modifying antirheumatic drug (DMARD) for long-term treatment of rheumatoid arthritis (RA), psoriasis, and other autoimmune diseases. Methotrexate is a first-line drug in RA treatment. One challenge in the use of the drug is that about 30% of patients do not respond to treatment or experience adverse effects, such as gastrointestinal symptoms, malaise, and psychological complaints.

LP20176-1 trough
In medicine, a trough level is the lowest level that a medicine is present in the body. In a medicine that is administered periodically, the trough level should be measured just before the administration of the next dose in order to avoid overdosing. It should be contrasted with a "peak level", which is the highest level of the medicine in the body, and the "average level", which is the mean level over time. It helps in therapeutic drug monitoring. It is widely used in clinical trials for newer medicines for its therapeutic effectiveness and safety.
