Ash and Leucovorin Calcium

We checked these two against our interaction database. Here is what we found.

No Known Interaction Found

We did not find a documented interaction between Leucovorin Calcium and Ash in our sources. This does not guarantee that the combination is completely free of risk — there is often limited research on supplements and herbal products, especially around drug interactions.

If you decide to take both, the practical routine is simple: add one new thing at a time and note the date you started it. If the combination is going to disagree with you, it usually shows in the first days to a couple of weeks — and a start date turns “I’ve been feeling off” into something a pharmacist can actually work with. Do not stop a prescribed medicine on your own.

Always talk with your pharmacist or doctor before making changes to your medications or supplements, particularly if you take several medications or have an ongoing health condition.

Ash safety at a glance

Ash overall Use caution Likely fine in food amounts, but medicinal use lacks strong safety data.
Pregnancy Avoid Not enough safety information, so it is best avoided during pregnancy.
Breastfeeding Avoid No reliable safety data, so avoid while breastfeeding.

Safety guidance is general; always confirm with your pharmacist or doctor for your situation.

How we checked

Why No Interaction Is Listed for Leucovorin Calcium

Interactions in our licensed database are recorded against drug classes, not just single drug names. Leucovorin Calcium is filed under a single classification — oral drugs. Ash has documented interactions with 2 drug classes — the most serious being antidiabetes drugs (moderate) and antihypertensive drugs (moderate) — and none of Leucovorin Calcium’s classifications are among them.

Classification data comes from our licensed Natural Medicines dataset. A medication can belong to classes beyond those recorded there, so this describes how the check was run — it is not a safety guarantee.

What Leucovorin Calcium’s Own FDA Label Lists

This is not an interaction — none of it involves Ash. These are the most notable effects listed in the ADVERSE REACTIONS section of Leucovorin Calcium’s own FDA label, for the medication by itself. Knowing the drug’s own list makes it easier to work out the likely cause if something new turns up while you take both. 5 of them are worth acting on rather than waiting out — marked below.

  • A low white blood cell count Worth acting on mentioned in 5.8% of FDA reports for Leucovorin Calcium
  • A low platelet count Worth acting on
  • Kidney problems Worth acting on
  • Hives Worth acting on
  • A higher chance of infection Worth acting on
  • Mouth irritation or sores
  • Hair loss
  • Reduced appetite
  • Constipation
  • Diarrhea mentioned in 9.5% of FDA reports for Leucovorin Calcium

Showing the 10 most notable of 14 label-listed effects — ranked by how unusual each one is across medicines generally, with serious effects weighted up.

From the ADVERSE REACTIONS section of the FDA label for Leucovorin Calcium. Read the label on DailyMed › Where a percentage is shown, it is the share of 19,003 voluntary FDA FAERS reports for Leucovorin Calcium that mention that effect — a reporting proportion, not an incidence rate and not evidence the drug caused it. Ash’s licensed record lists no adverse effects our clinical vocabulary could match, so there is no Ash side to compare — that is a limit of the record, not a statement that Ash has no side effects.

About Ash

What is Ash?

Ash
  • Joint pain and arthritis
  • Fever
  • Constipation
  • Fluid retention (diuretic)
  • Bladder and urinary complaints
  • Weight management and blood sugar

Ash (Fraxinus excelsior and related species) is a tree whose leaves, bark, and seeds have a long history in folk medicine for arthritis, fever, and fluid retention. Solid human evidence is limited for nearly all of these uses, so it should not replace proven treatments. Talk with your pharmacist or doctor before using it, especially if you are pregnant, breastfeeding, or taking other medicines.

Fraxinus excelsior · Oleaceae · Leaves, bark, and seeds · Tea, dried leaf, capsules, tinctures, extracts

An interaction check asks whether these two react with each other — it does not ask whether Ash is a good idea for someone in your situation. Here is what our Ash record says about it on its own.

Ash: dosing

There is no well-established standard dose for ash. Amounts vary widely between teas, tinctures, capsules, and extracts.If you choose to use an ash product, follow the directions on the label and do not exceed them.

About Leucovorin

What Is Leucovorin Used For?

Brand name: Wellcovorin

Leucovorin is used to reduce the harmful effects of methotrexate when the body is slow to clear it, and to counteract accidental overdoses of drugs that block folic acid (called folic acid antagonists or DHFR inhibitors). It is also used to treat cerebral folate transport deficiency (FOLR1-CFTD), a rare genetic condition that prevents the brain from receiving enough folate.

The injectable forms — including leucovorin calcium injection and Vykoura — are additionally approved for rescue after high-dose methotrexate therapy, for treatment of megaloblastic anemia (a type of anemia caused by low folic acid) when oral treatment isn't possible, and for use alongside fluorouracil in treating metastatic colorectal cancer. Leucovorin calcium injection is specifically indicated for rescue after high-dose methotrexate in osteosarcoma.

Most-Reported Side Effects for Leucovorin Calcium

From FAERS, the FDA’s public side-effect reporting system (19,003 reports, all brands). Reports are voluntary and are not proof the drug caused the effect.

Diarrhea 1,799 reports
Nausea 1,388 reports
Vomiting 1,135 reports
Neutropenia 1,094 reports
Fever 1,011 reports
