What is Rheumate?

Rheumate is a prescription medical food for the clinical dietary management of metabolic effects of methotrexate therapy. Similar to multivitamins, minerals, and other drugs, medical foods help manage diseases and require physician supervision. The term “food” speaks to the safety of these products because they must contain only ingredients that have been designated as GRAS (Generally Recognized as Safe), a strict food-safety standard set by the FDA.

Rheumate consists of folate (L-5-methyltetrahydrofolate), curcumin, and vitamin B-12. Curcumin is a powerful antioxidant and addresses methotrexate-induced oxidative stress (too many free radicals in the body). Vitamin B- 12 is added to avoid masking borderline deficiency of B-12 from taking folate supplements.

In patients who are being treated with methotrexate, Rheumate works by replenishing folate by delivering a bioavailable form (L-5-methyltetrahydrofolate) that doesn't need to be converted by the body. This is different from folic acid, which has to be converted to active folate before the body can use it. The folate in this drug is superior because MTX can decrease the conversion of folic acid into folate.

Rheumate should not be used if you have allergies or hypersensitivity to any of the ingredients inthis prescription drug.
