Foly Tablet 5 mg contains Folinic Acid, also known as Leucovorin, a biologically active form of folate (Vitamin B9). Unlike folic acid, folinic acid is already in its active form and does not require enzymatic conversion in the body, making it immediately available for cellular functions. It plays a vital role in DNA synthesis, repair, and cellular growth, supporting the production of red blood cells and other rapidly dividing cells.

Foly Tablet 5 mg is commonly used to prevent or treat folate deficiency, support chemotherapy regimens, and reduce drug-related toxicities, especially in treatments involving Methotrexate or 5-Fluorouracil. Its precise dosing makes it suitable for both adults and children, ensuring effective supplementation or rescue therapy when required.
