I've been on Methotrexate for a few months now, and while it's been effective, the side effects have been brutal. My doctor prescribed Levoleucovorin 10mg/ml Inj, 17.5ml to help protect my healthy cells. It's given by injection into a vein, and I've been learning a lot about it. It's a type of vitamin (folate) that can also enhance the effectiveness of other cancer medicines like fluorouracil. Has anyone else used Levoleucovorin? What were the side effects? How did it help? I'd love to hear your experiences and any tips. This is extremely hard to navigate.
