The information I have on the website regarding methotrexate exposure was based on research that I did on the internet. First of all, it's very important to understand that the majority of studies that were done on embryos and fetuses were done when the woman was undergoing regular methotrexate treatment for rheumatoid arthritis, cancer, or other conditions. That would mean repeated exposure at high doses. When evaluating the potential risk to the fetus, we need to consider if the exposure was repeated or a one-time thing. A medical abortion with methotrexate uses a small dose given one time.
