Dois-je éviter methotrexate pendant la grossesse ? | VeriMom
Methotrexate is a well‑known human teratogen and is contraindicated in pregnancy (FDA labeling: Pregnancy Category X) and causes fetal harm via folate antagonism (dihydrofolate reductase inhibition) with documented fetal malformations and pregnancy loss; this is a harmonised/high‑level reproductive hazard. Topical cosmetic use would give negligible systemic exposure in routine cosmetic scenarios, so exposure from cosmetic use is expected to be negligible. (Sources: FDA label; peer‑reviewed teratology literature; regulatory listings).

FAQ
- methotrexate est-il sûr pendant la grossesse ?
- Methotrexate is a well‑known human teratogen and is contraindicated in pregnancy (FDA labeling: Pregnancy Category X) and causes fetal harm via folate antagonism (dihydrofolate reductase inhibition) with documented fetal malformations and pregnancy loss; this is a harmonised/high‑level reproductive hazard. Topical cosmetic use would give negligible systemic exposure in routine cosmetic scenarios, so exposure from cosmetic use is expected to be negligible. (Sources: FDA label; peer‑reviewed teratology literature; regulatory listings).
- methotrexate est-il sûr pendant l'allaitement ?
- Methotrexate is contraindicated in nursing mothers in drug labeling because of potential for serious adverse effects in the breastfed infant and its systemic distribution; mechanism (DHFR inhibition/antifolate) is established. For a cosmetic topical use scenario, maternal systemic exposure from a cosmetic product would be negligible, so milk transfer from cosmetic use is not expected.
- methotrexate est-il sûr pour la peau de bébé ?
- Hazard is high (harmonised/regulatory teratogen/antimetabolite). For direct application to baby (0–3 yr) the immature barrier raises exposure compared with adults: even if adult topical absorption is negligible for a highly polar drug, the guidance requires raising the exposure score by +1 for baby skin when measurable absorption is possible. Therefore exposure = 1 for baby skin; mechanism (antifolate/DHFR inhibition) is well characterized.
