Leucovorin is a form of folate. Folic acid is duplicating that.

So I don't think you need the folic acid.... it is not active you know, and Leuocovorin is partially active. The two may interact at the blood brain barrier and that new papers suggest not using folic acid when active folate is available (Leucovorin and/or methylfolate).

Leucovorin:

Your schedule looks ok to me so far.... otherwise.

So discuss with your doctor dropping the folic acid. (or using methylfolate instead).
