What is Leucovorin Calcium used for?
Leucovorin Calcium (Calcium Folinate) is used to reduce the side effects of medications that block the effects of folic acid in the body, such as methotrexate, pyrimethamine, and trimethoprim. Leucovorin is also used to treat colorectal cancer in combination with other chemotherapy drugs, and can be used to treat anemia caused by folate deficiency. Leucovorin is a form of folic acid that works by blocking medications used to reduce folic acid from reaching binding sites. By blocking these other medications, Leucovorin restores the stores of folic acid that are required for proper DNA function. Leucovorin also reduces the risk of hematologic toxicity. Use Leucovorin Calcium as prescribed by your doctor. Leucovorin should be taken with a glass of water.
