About This Medication

# CORE Connections Patient Guide: How to Get Rasuvo (methotrexate) at Low or No Cost Rasuvo (methotrexate) injection is a prescription medication used to treat conditions like rheumatoid arthritis, psoriasis, and certain cancers. The **CORE Connections** program from **Medexus Pharmaceuticals, Inc.** helps eligible patients access Rasuvo at low or no cost through co-pay assistance, benefits support, and patient assistance options. ## About Rasuvo (methotrexate) Rasuvo is a once-weekly, single-dose auto-injector containing methotrexate, a disease-modifying antirheumatic drug (DMARD). It comes in strengths from 7.5 mg to 30 mg and is administered subcutaneously at home. Methotrexate works by suppressing the immune system to reduce inflammation in autoimmune diseases like rheumatoid arthritis (RA) and polyarticular juvenile idiopathic arthritis (pJIA), or to slow cancer cell growth in conditions like leukemia. Common side effects include nausea, fatigue, mouth sores, and liver enzyme elevations; regular blood tests are required to monitor for serious risks like bone marrow suppression or infections. Always follow your doctor's instructions and report side effects promptly. ## Who Qualifies for CORE Connections?
