No you are not supposed to donate blood while on methotrexate as it causes birth defects and could cause a birth defect for unborn children If given to pregnant mothers. It is not on the exclusion list for the Red Cross because in asking them the list of medications that exclude donating would be too long and your doctor should inform you of the risks when you start these medications.

While taking spironolactone for hair growth can one donate plasma?
I just went to donate plasma for the first time today and I am taking spironolactone. The doctor told me that spironolactone is a diuretic and thins your blood and so in conjunction with the blood thinners they use in the donation process, it is not safe to donate. So I will not be allowed to donate until 48 hours after I have stopped taking spironolactone.
