Is rasuvo a shot?

Is Rasuvo given as a shot?
Rasuvo delivers methotrexate as a single-use prefilled auto-injector that patients press against the skin of the abdomen or thigh to release the drug under the skin.

How does the Rasuvo injector work?
The device hides the needle, automatically inserts it, delivers the dose, and then retracts the needle so users never see or handle it directly.

Where do patients inject Rasuvo?
Standard sites are the stomach area or upper thigh; users rotate sites each week to avoid skin irritation.

How often is Rasuvo used?
Doctors prescribe it once weekly for rheumatoid arthritis, psoriasis, or polyarticular juvenile idiopathic arthritis.

Can Rasuvo replace methotrexate pills?
Some patients switch from oral tablets because the shot may cause fewer stomach side effects or when higher doses are needed.

When does the Rasuvo patent expire?
The last-listed U.S. patent expires in 2030, according to DrugPatentWatch.com.
