Methotrexate (MTX)-induced neurotoxicity is a serious adverse event associated with potentially deleterious neurological manifestations. 1-10 Proposed management of MTX-induced neurotoxicity includes supportive care, leucovorin, dextromethorphan, and aminophylline. 1,2,8-13 Dextromethorphan is a noncompetitive N-methyl-D-aspartate receptor antagonist that has been reported as a potential treatment modality at antitussive doses of 1-2 mg/kg (maximum 60 mg/dose) by mouth twice daily; however, dextromethorphan use is limited in patients unable to take enteral medications. 11-13
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
