HOW TO TAKE CALCIUM FOLINATE TABLETS
Always take Calcium Folinate exactly as your doctor has instructed you. You should always check with your doctor or pharmacist if you are unsure. The tablets should be swallowed whole with a drink of water. Your doctor may also ask you to drink more than usual.
Dose
Reduction of harmful effects of folic acid antagonists
If used to reduce the harmful effects of folic acid antagonist medicines such as methotrexate, treatment with calcium folinate is usually started 24 hours after the folic acid antagonist has been given. The dose is usually one 15 mg tablet every 6 hours for 2 days. You will probably also be asked to take another medicine to make your urine alkaline at the same time as this will also help reduce the toxic effects of the folic acid antagonist. Where high doses of folic acid antagonists have been used, or where there has been an overdose of such medicines, calcium folinate treatment is usually given by injection.
Megaloblastic anaemia
In the treatment of megaloblastic anaemia the dose is one 15 mg tablet daily.
