Product Information

• Name: Calcium folinate pentahydrate
• Brand: Biosynth
• Description: Calcium folinate pentahydrate is a drug that is used to treat overexertion. It is also used as a pharmacological treatment for cancer and as a drug repositioning agent. Calcium folinate pentahydrate has been shown to be effective in treating the symptoms of overexertion, including muscle cramps, pain, and fatigue. This drug binds to the casein in the bloodstream and forms calcium citrate, which is then excreted from the body. In cancer patients, this drug prevents tumor cells from dividing by inhibiting DNA synthesis and RNA synthesis. It does not affect normal cells because it cannot diffuse through membranes that are impenetrable by ions (e.g., cell membrane).
