Actor Portrayals

Xatmep may eliminate the need for parents to play pharmacist

  • A ready-to-use liquid with a sweet taste

  • No crushing or cutting tablets

  • No shots or pills

  • No special compounding pharmacy required

  • Xatmep delivers your child’s needed methotrexate without dyes or artificial flavors.

  • Xatmep offers you added convenience. Because it can be left unrefrigerated for up to 60 days, you can take Xatmep with you. If stored at room temperature, discard after 60 days. Avoid freezing or excessive heat.

Important Reminders

An oral liquid formulation and body surface area–based dosing help to ensure an accurate dose of methotrexate every time it is administered: not too much and not too little.

  • Xatmep is for oral use only and should be dosed one (1) time weekly. Mistaken daily use has resulted in fatal toxicity
  • Your doctor will tell you how much Xatmep that you or the patient should take. Do not change the dose of Xatmep unless your doctor tells you to do so
  • Xatmep should be taken at the time and frequency specified by your doctor
  • Always carefully measure the prescribed dose of Xatmep before you or the patient takes it. You or the patient can ask the pharmacist for an accurate (mL) dosing device. A household teaspoon is not an accurate dosing device
  • Make sure that you or the patient swallows the entire dose of Xatmep
  • Store refrigerated (2°C–8°C/36°F–46°F) in a tightly closed container. Patients may store Xatmep either refrigerated (2°C–8°C/36°F–46°F) or at room temperature (20°C–25°C/68°F–77°F); excursions permitted to 15°C–30°C/59°–86°F. If stored at room temperature, discard after 60 days. Avoid freezing and excessive heat
  • If you have questions about Xatmep, ask your doctor or your pharmacist
