For how long you are taking folitrax. Keep an account of how much you take. Usually we can take about 3 - 4 gms toal cumulutive dose. @10mg/week you take 40mg/ month and 520mg per year. This is a simple antimetabolite and is cheap. Other drugs are costly and come with more side effects. Dermatologist commonly use this drug and are familiar with it. Keep yopur liver fit by not taking alcohol. Avoid smoking, it will aggrevate psoriasis. Once again keep an account of methotrexate,
