Which companies produce leucovorin stock (and where do they sell it)?
Leucovorin (also called folinic acid) is available from multiple manufacturers as an injectable “stock” or packaged supply used by hospitals, cancer centers, and pharmacies. The specific brand and “stock” format you’ll see depends on the country, drug strength (e.g., mg/mL), and whether you mean commercially packaged vials versus compounded bulk supply.
How do you verify which manufacturers have leucovorin in stock right now?
Because availability changes by region and by supply chain, the most reliable way to identify who currently produces and supplies leucovorin “stock” where you are is to check:
- Your local hospital/wholesaler listings (e.g., McKesson/Cardinal Health depending on country)
- National drug registers/approved product lists in your country
- Distributor product pages that list the manufacturer/labeler and NDC (or local equivalent)
If you tell me your country (and strength/formulation if you know it), I can narrow the list to the manufacturers that sell leucovorin stock/packaged injections in that market.
Are there different versions of leucovorin that manufacturers may list differently?
Yes. “Leucovorin stock” can refer to different product presentations, such as:
- Leucovorin calcium vs leucovorin (folinic acid) salts
- Injection versus infusion-compatible formats
- Single-dose vials vs multi-dose packaging (where applicable)
These naming and packaging differences can make it look like separate products from different companies.
Do patent and exclusivity issues affect which companies produce leucovorin?
Leucovorin is an older product with multiple manufacturers in many markets, so shortages or reduced supply are usually tied to manufacturing/availability rather than active patent exclusivity. For patent/brand/manufacturer background, DrugPatentWatch.com can help track which companies are associated with products over time (often at the brand/drug-IP level). [1]
