Leucovorin Calcium Tablets for sale

Also known as folinic acid, Leucovorin is commonly prescribed as part of methotrexate rescue therapy, helping protect healthy cells from certain toxic effects of high-dose methotrexate treatment. It may also be used under medical direction for accidental overdose of methotrexate or similar folic acid antagonist medicines. MedlinePlus explains that Leucovorin helps protect healthy cells from methotrexate-related effects while allowing methotrexate to continue acting against cancer cells.

Leucovorin Calcium may be available in oral tablet form or as an injectable medication for intravenous or intramuscular use, depending on the patient’s condition and healthcare provider’s instructions. DailyMed lists Leucovorin Calcium for Injection as a prescription drug indicated for rescue after high-dose methotrexate therapy, impaired methotrexate elimination, inadvertent folic acid antagonist overdose, certain megaloblastic anemias due to folic acid deficiency when oral therapy is not feasible, and use with 5-fluorouracil in advanced colorectal cancer treatment.

This medication should only be taken exactly as prescribed by a licensed healthcare professional. Patients should not increase, reduce, or change their Leucovorin dose without medical guidance. MedlinePlus advises patients to follow the prescription label carefully and not take more or less than directed by their doctor.
