Olvorin Leucovorin 300mg Injection – Uses, Benefits & Side Effects
Olvorin Leucovorin 300mg Injection is prescribed to reduce the harmful effects of methotrexate when used for treating certain cancers. It is also used to manage accidental methotrexate overdose and anemia caused by folic acid deficiency. Additionally, it enhances the effectiveness of 5-fluorouracil in colorectal cancer treatment.
As a folic acid analogue, leucovorin protects healthy cells from methotrexate’s toxic effects. It aids in red blood cell production, which helps treat anemia. When combined with 5-fluorouracil, it boosts the drug’s ability to slow or stop cancer cell growth.
