Description
Folinic Acid (Leucovorin Calcium) is a prescription medicine used as a chemotherapy rescue agent and supportive care drug. Unlike folic acid, folinic acid is the active, reduced form of folate that does not require enzymatic conversion in the body. It is primarily used in combination with chemotherapy medicines such as methotrexate and fluorouracil (5-FU) to enhance efficacy and reduce toxicity.
