Approved Drug List

[Carl J. Hixon]

Anybody know where the approved drug list can be found? For example, would
a pilot taking Methyltrexate and Folic acid for Psoriatic Arthritis have any
difficulty with a 3rd class medical?

There is this:

http://www.leftseat.com/medcat1.htm

I don't know that it is really "official", but it shows Methyltrexate
(except they called it Methotrexate) as approved for arthritis (not for
cancer), providing that there are no side effects and the condition being
treated is not itself disqualifying.

And while on the subject of approved drugs:

Methotrexate would be what I am taking. I suppose that the only side effect
could be an effect on my spelling abilities.

You wouldn't be able to get past "Controls free and correct" anyway...

Or if you did, you could hurt yourself pretty badly.

Wow, I think that's the first time the FAA has acknowledged the "Mile High
Club".

I'd say you definitely have a problem. But not with the FAA.

Just for records, how large is a bat testicle ?

Methotrexate is more commonly (or rather, TRADITIONALLY) used to treat
Cancer and is considered Chemotherapy.

It HAS, however been found to help quite a bit in autoimmune and
immune-mediated disorders (such as this persons arthritis).
