Correct answer: E — Full blood count, liver function and renal function monitoring are required
Methotrexate can cause bone marrow suppression, hepatotoxicity and renal-related toxicity. Regular FBC, LFTs and renal function are standard monitoring. Folic acid reduces some adverse effects but does not remove monitoring requirements.
