Methotrexate is an antimetabolite that binds to dihydrofolate reductase, ultimately inhibiting DNA synthesis and repair, and cell replication. Overall success rate in treating ectopic pregnancy is between 71-94%. Failure rates are higher when starting qHCG is over 5000mIU/ml. Multidose regimens may be more effective for higher qHCGs or in the presence of positive fetal cardiac activity.
