I am taking methotrexate and sulfasalazine after being diagnosed with arthritis. Am I considered immunosuppressed (Coronavirus)?

Hello😊

You were smart to ask this question. Indeed, methotrexate is an immunosuppressive agent, so you are considered immunosuppressed.

Don't hesitate if you have any other questions,

Have a nice day!
