Foli-Cell

Calcium Folinate Pentahydrate, also known as Foli-Cell, is a medication used to counteract the effects of folic acid antagonists. It is commonly administered via intramuscular or intravenous routes.

Calcium Folinate Pentahydrate is primarily used to reverse the toxic effects of drugs that interfere with folic acid metabolism. This includes applications in cancer treatment where folic acid antagonists are used. It is also utilized to manage certain types of anemia and to support the body's natural processes during chemotherapy.

When administered, Calcium Folinate Pentahydrate works by providing a form of folic acid that can bypass the blockage caused by certain medications. This helps to restore normal cellular function and reduce side effects associated with folic acid antagonists. Common effects include improved cellular health and reduced toxicity.

Calcium Folinate Pentahydrate should be used with caution in patients with allergies to folic acid or any of its components. It is important to follow the prescribed dosage and administration route to avoid potential complications. Always consult a healthcare provider before use.

Calcium Folinate Pentahydrate can interact with various medications, including certain chemotherapy drugs and folic acid antagonists. It is advisable to inform your healthcare provider about all medications you are taking to avoid potential interactions. Alcohol and other substances may also affect its efficacy.
