“…Indeed, MTX is used for the treatment of a wide variety of cancers (Huennekens 1994) as well as for the treatment of ectopic pregnancy (Fernandez et al 1998), inflammatory skin disease (Goujon et al 2006), Crohn's disease (Sun and Das 2005), rheumatoid arthritis (Nakazawa et al 2001), and systemic lupus (Wise et al 1996). However, MTX is a well known teratogen and therefore must be prescribed with caution to women of reproductive age (Lloyd et al 1999;Lewden et al 2004). Embryonic lethality has been observed in developing embryos of many mammalian systems, including rat (Vinson and Hales 2002), mouse (Darab et al 1987), rabbit (DeSesso and Goeringer 1991) and cat (Khera 1976).…”

“…A administração durante o segundo e terceiro trimestres aumenta o risco de restrição de crescimento intrauterino e de baixo peso ao nascimento. [87][88][89] A taxa de abortamento durante o tratamento com metotrexato é de aproximadamente 40%, consideravelmente mais elevada do que a observada na população em geral ou mesmo em doentes com doenças autoimunes. 90 Um intervalo mínimo de um a três meses entre a interrupção do metotrexato e a conceção é recomendado.…”
