Product Description
Product introduction
Leucorin 50mg Injection is used to prevent the harmful effects of methotrexate (anticancer medicine). It is also used to treat overdose of methotrexate.
Leucorin 50mg Injection is given as a slow injection into veins under the supervision of a doctor. Your doctor will decide what dose is necessary and how often you need to take it. This will depend on what you are being treated for and may change from time to time. You should take it exactly as your doctor has advised. Taking it in the wrong way or taking too much can cause very serious side effects.
Injection site reactions (pain, swelling, redness) are common side effects of this medicine. If these bother you or appear serious, let your doctor know. There may be ways of reducing or preventing them. Regular blood tests are required to check your blood cells and serum methotrexate concentration in blood.
Before taking it, tell your doctor if have seizures, liver, or kidney problems or are taking any medicines to treat infections. Many other medicines can affect, or be affected by, this medicine so let your healthcare team know all medications you are using, especially phenytoin for your seizures. To make sure it is safe for you, let your doctor know if you are pregnant or breastfeeding before taking this medicine.
Mechanism and Indication
Leucorin (Calcium Leucovorin) acts by replenishing folate stores in the body, effectively counteracting the harmful effects of folic acid antagonists like methotrexate. Its primary uses include decreasing methotrexate toxicity during cancer therapy, serving as an adjunct for colorectal cancer, and treating folate antagonist-induced megaloblastic anemia.
Administration Process and Packaging
This product is administered intravenously or intramuscularly as directed by a medical professional. Each 5ml glass vial contains a clear, yellowish, sterile solution. Leucorin must not be mixed with other medications in the same syringe to maintain efficacy and safety.
Storage and Stability
Leucorin injection should be stored below 25C, shielded from light, and must not be frozen. The vial is designed for single use, and any remaining solution should be discarded properly to avoid contamination. Its shelf life extends up to two years from the manufacture date, ensuring long-term availability.
