Leucorin Calcium Folinate – 20 Tablets Pack
Prescription Folate Therapy for Chemotherapy Support and Folate Deficiency
Leucorin contains Calcium Folinate (Folinic Acid), an active form of folate used in specific medical treatments. It is commonly prescribed to reduce the toxic effects of certain chemotherapy medicines, particularly methotrexate, and to treat or prevent folate deficiency when standard folic acid is not suitable. Calcium folinate works by bypassing folic acid metabolism pathways, allowing the body to use folate directly when needed.
