I don't know!

Mom took it, but it didn't help her much...she's taking Enbrel now and it works GREAT!

Ah.... not familiar with that one. Is it new?

It was interesting, when Chris was on Methotrexate they adamantly told him not to have any alcohol for the week he had the shot. (he didn't have them weekly, but like bi-weekly or monthly as needed) They said it made his liver too weak to handle the alcohol and that it could be damaging. When my mom was on it for liver Cancer, at much higher doses, I mentioned this to her, and she said they had said nothing to her about drinking or not drinking. I wondered if maybe they just view someone with liver Cancer as being too far gone to care about possible side effects to the liver, or what. Seemed to me they would want her to be as easy on her liver as possible, though she did like Margaritas at El Sarape on Fridays.
