Leucorin Tablet

Leucorin Tablet is an oral medicine containing Calcium Leucovorin 15 mg, also known as Calcium Folinate or Leucovorin Calcium. It belongs to the folinic acid class of medicines and is commonly prescribed as a rescue therapy following high-dose methotrexate treatment to protect healthy cells from toxic effects. It may also be used in selected cases of folate deficiency and methotrexate overdose.

Leucorin works by supplying the body with an active form of folate that bypasses the metabolic block caused by methotrexate. This helps normal cells recover while allowing methotrexate to continue acting against cancer cells when used according to treatment protocols.

This medicine should only be taken under the supervision of a qualified healthcare professional, particularly when used as part of chemotherapy or methotrexate rescue therapy.

Calcium Leucovorin is an active form of folate that bypasses the inhibition of folic acid metabolism caused by methotrexate. It restores folate-dependent cellular processes in healthy tissues, helping reduce the toxic effects of methotrexate without completely interfering with its anticancer activity when administered at the appropriate time.
