LCBUZZ-15 Leucovorin Calcium 15mg – 20 Tablets Pack
LCBUZZ-15 contains Leucovorin Calcium 15mg, a medication commonly used in combination with certain chemotherapy treatments. It is often referred to as “folinic acid” and plays an important role in reducing harmful side effects associated with specific cancer therapies.
Leucovorin is not a chemotherapy drug itself, but it is used to either protect healthy cells from the toxic effects of medicines like methotrexate or to enhance the effectiveness of fluorouracil in cancer treatment. It may also be prescribed in certain cases of folate deficiency when standard folic acid is not suitable.

- Reduction of methotrexate toxicity (rescue therapy)
- Enhancement of fluorouracil (5-FU) effectiveness in cancer treatment

How It Works
