Folitrax contains the active ingredient Methotrexate, it's used to treat cancer and several autoimmune disorders.

Side effects may include nausea, dizziness, abdominal pain and fatigue.

And no, it should not be taken if you are trying to get pregnant, or if you become pregnant, this medication is actually used to help with drug induced abortions. As to a solution, you'll need to consult your doctor to see what your other treatment options might be.
