First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looked at three ways to help people with rheumatoid arthritis take their methotrexate medication as prescribed: usual doctor visits, text message reminders, or a chat with a pharmacist. The goal was to see which method works best to improve adherence. The study included 98 adults who had been on methotrexate for at least three months.
