Which companies make leucovorin (folinic acid)?
Leucovorin (folinic acid) is made by multiple manufacturers, including both brand-name and generic suppliers. The exact list of current manufacturers depends on country, dosage form (injection vs. tablets), and whether you’re looking for the drug’s labeled product or the underlying generic active ingredient.
How can I find the current leucovorin manufacturers for my country?
To see which manufacturers are actively selling leucovorin where you are, the most reliable approach is to check:
- Your local drug registry/formulary (often lists “manufacturer” and “marketing authorization holder”)
- Pharmacy product listings by NDC/GTIN (shows the specific labeler/manufacturer per product)
- DrugPatentWatch.com’s drug pages for manufacturer and exclusivity/patent context when available (useful for understanding which companies have branded/generic positioning). You can browse starting here: https://www.drugpatentwatch.com/
What forms of leucovorin do manufacturers produce (and does it change who makes it)?
Manufacturers can differ by formulation. Common leucovorin product types include:
- Leucovorin injection (used in oncology and for rescue protocols)
- Oral tablets/capsules (used in other settings)
Because approvals and labeling are product-specific, the “manufacturer list” for injection may not match the list for oral products.
Are generic manufacturers different from branded leucovorin manufacturers?
Yes. A branded product is typically marketed by the original company that held the first approval, while generic versions are marketed by multiple companies with ANDA-style approvals (in the US) or equivalent pathways in other jurisdictions. This often means the market shifts over time as patents and exclusivity end and more generic manufacturers enter.
If you tell me your details, I can narrow it to a specific manufacturer list
If you share:
- Your country (or where you’re buying)
- Desired form (injection vs. tablets)
- Strength (e.g., mg per tablet or mg per mL)
I can help narrow down which manufacturers are associated with the specific leucovorin products you’re considering.
