Methotrexate is a medication used in the management of unruptured ectopic pregnancy. It works by inhibiting cell growth, which is particularly useful in treating ectopic pregnancies where the embryo implants outside the uterus, often in a fallopian tube. Methotrexate helps to stop the growth of the embryo, allowing the body to absorb the pregnancy tissue and avoid the need for surgical intervention.
