One of the side effects of this drug is mouth sores. I also think, but am not sure, that gold may cause this as well. I take both and when the metho was prescribed, folic acid was as well. Folic acid should be taken with the metho to prevent the side effects, such as mouth sores, hair loss, etc. When my mouth gets sore, I increase my folic acid to 2 tabs for a few days and rinse with warm salt water a few times a day. They usually go away in a day or so. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
