Talk:Folinic acid

Heading
In accordance with WikiProject_Drugs naming policy, I propose we move this page to the INN calcium folinate. If you have any concern with this proposal, please discuss it on this page. Matt 23:03, 21 Dec 2004 (UTC)
 * No probs, I completely agree with the move. It was my mistake for not writing the original article under calcium folinate anyway... -Techelf 05:03, 23 Dec 2004 (UTC)

Hi. I was wondering how folinic acid is commonly derived. Is it synthetic?

Citrovorum Factor
I don't understand why the article has a section on Citrovorum Factor WTF??

Synonyms
Hi. The Synonym section is incorrect. Folinic acid isn't the same as 5-MTHF, L-methylfolate, Metafolin, Quatrefolic, etc. Take a look at the chemical structures and where they fit in the folate/methylation cycles. JDJ88 (talk) 19:37, 6 July 2015 (UTC)


 * Although it is the same as calcium folinate, which I buy OTC. I suspect the "Rx only" label for this vitamin applies only to high dosages, since all high dosage forms of folic acid are prescription only, whatever form is used.  173.228.54.27 (talk) 18:20, 27 September 2015 (UTC)

Reference [10] should be removed.
The reference [10], "How a vitamin cured my anxiety: Elisa Black’s story of lifelong struggle and new hope for the future" is garbage—it should be removed. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 67.5.227.138 (talk) 21:18, 1 October 2016 (UTC)

I've added the mention of Cerebral folate deficiency
I've added the mention of Cerebral folate deficiency because I'd like that article to have more incoming links, and because folinic acid treatment is quite specific to this syndrome, as opposed to the more "generic" Folate deficiency, which can also be treated with folic acid. -- C opper K ettle  16:58, 15 January 2019 (UTC)

Autism
"Autism can feature cerebral folate deficiency. Cerebral folate receptor autoantibodies can be present in autism spectrum disorder. There are some empirical indications that folinic acid might improve verbal communication in children with non-syndromic autism spectrum disorder (ASD). Folinic acid and methylcobalamin treatment on glutathione redox status in children with autism. "

Is all based on primary sources. We need some decent secondary sources before making these claims. Doc James (talk · contribs · email) 07:55, 11 January 2020 (UTC)

I removed the reference to statement on interaction with fluorouracil
Hi! I've removed the ref (PMID 7627739) to the statement on interaction with fluorouracil. I downloaded the paper, and it only says that the two drugs, when mixed in one container, may cause precipitation in the liquid. There's no mention of pharmacological interaction in the patient's body. Yours, --CopperKettle (talk) 09:57, 22 January 2023 (UTC)
