WHAT SHOULD I TELL MY HEALTHCARE PROVIDER BEFORE USING OTREXUP?

Before you take OTREXUP, tell your doctor if you have any other medical conditions.
Tell your doctor about all of the medicines you take, including prescription, over-the-counter medicines, vitamins, and herbal supplements. OTREXUP may affect how other medicines work, and other medicines may affect how OTREXUP works causing side effects. Ask your doctor or pharmacist for a list of medicines if you are not sure.
