Leucovorin Calcium Folinate 15 mg
Product Details
Leucovorin Calcium Folinate 15 mg Tablets (Leuconamo-15)
Product Overview
Leuconamo-15 contains leucovorin calcium (folinic acid), an active form of folic acid that does not require metabolic activation. It is widely used in oncology and in conditions associated with folate metabolism disorders.
This medication plays a key role in protecting healthy cells during chemotherapy and is also used as supportive therapy in metabolic and neurological conditions.
Composition
- Active ingredient: Leucovorin calcium 15 mg
- Dosage form: Tablets
- Pack size: 20 tablets
- Route of administration: Oral
Mechanism of Action
Leucovorin is a reduced folate that directly participates in DNA synthesis and cellular repair. It bypasses metabolic pathways and rapidly restores folate levels in the body.
Indications
Leuconamo-15 may be used for:
- Methotrexate toxicity management (leucovorin rescue)
- Combination therapy with fluorouracil
- Folate deficiency

Use in Autism Spectrum Disorders
Leucovorin has been studied as a supportive therapy in individuals with autism spectrum disorders (ASD), particularly in cases associated with cerebral folate deficiency.
Some clinical evidence suggests that folinic acid supplementation may help improve language development, communication, and certain cognitive functions in a subset of patients.
⚠️ Use in autism should only be considered under medical supervision.
