FAQs on Leevarin 15 Tablet

Leevarin 15 Tablet counteracts methotrexate's harmful side effects during cancer treatment. It also treats methotrexate overdose and megaloblastic anemia stemming from folic acid deficiency when oral medication is impractical.
Anemia is a condition where the oxygen-carrying red blood cells (RBCs) are reduced, leading to insufficient oxygen delivery to tissues and organs. Megaloblastic anemia, a type of anemia, is marked by fewer, abnormally large RBCs. This is typically caused by a deficiency in either vitamin B12 or folic acid.
Leevarin 15 Tablet typically begins working within 20–30 minutes of oral administration, although individual responses may vary depending on factors such as dosage and patient characteristics.
To determine the correct Leevarin 15 Tablet dosage and treatment length, your doctor will order blood tests. These include serum methotrexate level checks (if you're taking methotrexate or have overdosed) and a complete blood count to monitor red blood cell levels (especially if you have megaloblastic anemia). Calcium levels will also be monitored to prevent hypercalcemia, as Leevarin 15 Tablets contain calcium.
Ensure adequate hydration (≥2500 mL/24 hours) via oral or intravenous fluids, beginning 12 hours prior to and continuing for 36 hours post methotrexate infusion. Monitor urinary pH to maintain alkalinity (pH > 7.0) before infusion, avoiding acidic foods, drinks, and medications. Post-infusion, monitor serum methotrexate levels at 24, 48, and 72 hours.
