How do cytotoxic drugs affect AVN ?

greenspun.com : LUSENET : About Joints : One Thread

I have rheumatoid arthritis and take methotrexate 25 mg per week for this disease.

Since this is a cytotoxic drug, please can you tell me how this might affect the AVN which has been diagnosed in my left hip ?
