Core Tip Methotrexate remains underutilized in Crohn’s disease management despite its favorable safety and established efficacy. The nationwide French survey by Bonnaud et al has shown that barriers are less about evidence than about clinical inertia and limited familiarity. Reconsidering methotrexate as a frontline immunomodulator, particularly in the biologic era, may provide a cost-effective and individualized therapeutic strategy.
