BIOVORIN 50

Biovorin 50mg Injection contains Leucovorin calcium as its active ingredient, which is chemically related to a vitamin known as folic acid. It falls under the category of folic acid analogs. This injection is utilized to mitigate the adverse effects of methotrexate when treating specific cancer types. Additionally, it is employed to assist individuals who have unintentionally overdosed on methotrexate or similar medications. Furthermore, it is used alongside other anticancer drugs to address colorectal cancer, which originates in the colon or rectum. Other applications include the treatment of anemia resulting from insufficient folic acid levels in the body.

Prior to starting treatment, it is essential to inform your doctor if you have anemia, or any issues related to your kidneys, heart, or liver. Additionally, notify your physician if you are taking any medications for seizure management.
