    Methotrexate (MTX) is a medication commonly used to treat certain types of cancer, autoimmune diseases like rheumatoid arthritis, and severe psoriasis. It works by inhibiting the metabolism of folic acid, which is necessary for the rapid growth of cells, thereby slowing down the proliferation of cancer cells and modulating the immune system.
