See the DrugPatentWatch profile for Leucovorin

What are common brand names for leucovorin?

Leucovorin (also called folinic acid) is sold under multiple brand names, depending on the country and product formulation (for example, injection vs. tablets).

Common brand names used in the US include:
- Leucovorin Calcium (various brand/manufacturer listings)
- Wellcovorin
- Fusilev (leucovorin calcium for injection) [1]

What are the most well-known brand-name forms (injection vs. tablets)?

Searchers often narrow to which leucovorin brand corresponds to a specific dosage form:
- Injection (leucovorin calcium): Fusilev [1]
- Tablet/oral forms: brand labeling varies by manufacturer; many markets list leucovorin calcium under brand names rather than a single universal name.

How can I confirm the exact brand for my prescription?

If you’re trying to match your medication:
- Check the label for the active ingredient: leucovorin calcium (or folinic acid).
- Look for the dosage form (injection, tablets/capsules, etc.).
- Compare the National Drug Code (NDC) number on the prescription label to the product listing in your pharmacy records.

Summary

Claims identify leucovorin (folinic acid) and brand/formulation equivalences. Provided label excerpts discuss leucovorin/folinic acid as the active moiety but do not confirm specific US brand names (e.g., Wellcovorin, Leucovorin Calcium, Fusilev) or manufacturer listings; thus brand-name/identity claims are only partially supported.

Accurate Statements

Leucovorin is also called folinic acid.
Label sections provided state leucovorin/folinic acid together as the active concept (e.g., hypersensitivity/contraindication wording includes 'leucovorin (folinic acid)' and references 'folinic acid antagonists' in the clinical context).
Fusilev is a leucovorin calcium injection formulation.
Supported only at the level that the label provided is for leucovorin calcium injection (VYKOURA is 'leucovorin calcium' injection). The excerpt does not explicitly name Fusilev, but the formulation concept 'leucovorin calcium injection' matches the provided label drug description.

Unsupported Statements

In the US, a brand name for leucovorin is Leucovorin Calcium (various brand/manufacturer listings).
Provided label excerpts do not mention this specific brand name or manufacturer listings.
In the US, a brand name for leucovorin is Wellcovorin.
Provided label excerpts do not mention this specific brand name.
In the US, a brand name for leucovorin is Fusilev, which is leucovorin calcium for injection.
Provided label excerpts do not mention the brand name Fusilev; they only describe leucovorin calcium injection for VYKOURA.

Contradictions


Important Omissions

No dosing, administration, contraindications, warnings/precautions, interactions, adverse reactions, or population-specific safety information were provided in the AI claims, but these are not applicable to the specific brand-name/identity statements being evaluated.
Importance: Low

Safety Assessment

Potential Patient Risk: Low
The claims are identity/brand-name related. The only fully supported identity is the synonym 'leucovorin' and 'folinic acid.' Brand-name mapping statements are unsupported by the provided excerpts but are unlikely to introduce safety-relevant dosing errors within the context of these statements alone.
