I don't know what to do. I cant decide between two medications as a therapy for my rheumatoid arthritis. I don't know should I use Rheumatrex or Trexall. Can any one of you help me decide? Are there some big advantages or disadvantages? I have heard that Rheumatrex is used to treat cancers. Does it mean that he is stronger painkiller?

You are, probably unaware that those two medications are one the same. It is just two different brand names. It generic name is methotrexate. So there are actually no differences between them. They work by blocking enzymes needed for cell growth. In that way they can be used in treating cancers or psoriasis.
