Hello mooks

It is contraindicated for people with existing lung problems and can cause them.
It's quite common for people to be taken off it because problems develop. Often people are given chest x ray before starting. Yes you should let your doctor know and ask to start at a lower dose. Being sick does nobody any good !

Mooks,

I agree, please call your doctor and explain what has happened. Especially the tight chest and cough are worrying. Hopefully, as Clare said, he will drop you down to a lower dose. 7.5mg is the more normal starting dose as we discussed on your other thread on mtx.

Take care,
Karen
