Indications & Clinical Uses

  • Folinic Acid, also known as Folinate Eg, is primarily used to counteract the toxic effects of methotrexate, a chemotherapy drug. It is often administered to patients undergoing cancer treatment to help mitigate side effects. Additionally, it plays a role in supporting the production of DNA and RNA, which are essential for cell growth and function. Folinic Acid is also used in the treatment of folate deficiency anemia when other forms of folate are ineffective.

Side Effects

Precautions & Warnings

  • Folinic Acid should be handled with care, especially when administered intravenously or intramuscularly. It is crucial to follow proper hygiene practices to prevent infection at the injection site. Patients with a history of allergic reactions to folic acid or related compounds should use Folinic Acid with caution. Always store the medication as directed to maintain its efficacy.

Avoid Interactions

  • Folinic Acid can interact with certain medications, particularly those that affect folate metabolism. It is important to inform healthcare providers about all medications being taken, including over-the-counter drugs and supplements.
