How to get the most from your iron supplement

BACKGROUND: Tubal effects of methotrexate injections have been poorly reported. CASES: Three fallopian tubes were examined with light microscopy 9-13 months after tubal methotrexate injection (one case) and intramuscular methotrexate injection (two cases) given for the treatment of unruptured ectopic pregnancies. No evidence of tubal damage was found. CONCLUSION: These three cases confirm previous experimental and clinical data showing the absence of a direct adverse effect of methotrexate on the fallopian tubes in the treatment of ectopic pregnancy.
