Drug & supplement interaction

Ligandrol + Leucovorin Calcium

Leucovorin Calcium brand name: Wellcovorin.

No Known Interaction
Medically reviewed by · Updated July 2026 · Pair last verified Sep 27, 2026
The bottom line No known interaction

We found no known interaction between Ligandrol and Leucovorin Calcium in our sources. Absence of a documented interaction is not the same as proven safety, and does not guarantee one does not exist. Do not start, stop, or change a medication or supplement based on this page; confirm with your pharmacist or doctor first. Additionally, although there is no interaction, the two are separately associated with some of the same side effects, which would make a new symptom harder to attribute to one or the other.

Ligandrol 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 Ligandrol 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.

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. Ligandrol has documented interactions with 1 drug class — the most serious being hepatotoxic 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 to actually watch for

No Interaction Found — But Data Suggests Ligandrol and Leucovorin Calcium May Share Several of the Same Side Effects

This is not an interaction. Neither one changes how your body handles the other, and nothing here says they react together. What our sources do show is that each has separately been linked to the effects below — so taking both can make those effects more likely to turn up, and harder to pin on one or the other if they do.

  • Diarrhea / Tiredness / Nausea reported in 9.5% of FDA reports for Leucovorin Calcium Additional detail

    Ligandrol

    “There are cases of liver injury thought to be related to the use of ligandrol alone or in combination with other SARMs. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has warned that supplements containing SARMs, such as ligandrol, have been associated with liver toxicity.

    There are at least 3 cases of liver injury thought to be related to the use of ligandrol alone.”

    Leucovorin Calcium

    Listed in the ADVERSE REACTIONS section of the FDA label for Leucovorin Calcium, and in voluntary FDA adverse-event reports. Read the label on DailyMed ›

Reported for Ligandrol but not commonly for Leucovorin Calcium: liver problems, stomach pain, weight loss and itching.

Effects for Leucovorin Calcium come from the ADVERSE REACTIONS section of its FDA label; effects for Ligandrol come from the Natural Medicines adverse-effect record, quoted above. 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. Wording is matched across sources by our own clinical vocabulary, so treat this as a prompt to pay attention, not a diagnosis.

About Ligandrol

What is Ligandrol?

  • Muscle building
  • Athletic performance and strength
  • Body recomposition
  • Bodybuilding cycles

Ligandrol (LGD-4033) is a synthetic selective androgen receptor modulator (SARM), not a natural herb or approved dietary supplement. It is not approved for human use, is banned in sports, and has been linked to liver injury and hormonal disruption, so it should not be taken as a supplement.

Not applicable (synthetic compound) · Capsules, tablets, liquid (research chemical), powder

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

Ligandrol: dosing

There is no established or approved safe dose of Ligandrol because it is not an approved medicine or legal supplement. Doses used in early research and in bodybuilding are not verified for safety, and product labels cannot be trusted to be accurate.Because of the real risks and the lack of an approved dose, the safest choice is not to take it at all.

About Leucovorin

What Is Leucovorin Used For?

Brand name: Wellcovorin

Leucovorin is used to reduce the harmful effects of methotrexate when the body is having trouble clearing it, and to counteract accidental overdoses of folic acid antagonists or dihydrofolate reductase (DHFR) inhibitors — drugs that block the body's ability to use folate. The oral tablet (Leucovorin Calcium) is approved for these uses in adults only. Vykoura injection is also approved to rescue adult and pediatric patients after high-dose methotrexate therapy.

Leucovorin Calcium tablets are approved to treat cerebral folate transport deficiency (FOLR1-CFTD), a rare genetic condition that prevents the brain from getting enough folate, in adults and children. Vykoura injection and leucovorin calcium injection are approved to treat megaloblastic anemia (low red blood cell counts caused by folate deficiency) when oral treatment isn't an option, and to be used alongside fluorouracil (5-FU) to treat metastatic colorectal cancer.

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

Taking Ligandrol and Leucovorin Calcium Together: Common Questions

Is it safe to take Ligandrol with Leucovorin Calcium?
We do not list a known interaction between Ligandrol and Leucovorin Calcium. That does not guarantee the combination is risk-free, so confirm with your pharmacist or doctor — especially if you take other medications or have a health condition.
Do Ligandrol and Leucovorin Calcium have any of the same side effects?
Yes — our sources link each of them separately to 3 of the same effects. That is not an interaction: neither changes how your body handles the other. It does mean that if one of those effects turns up, it can be harder to tell which one is behind it. They are listed on this page with the source behind each.
How was the Ligandrol and Leucovorin Calcium combination checked?
Interactions in our licensed database are recorded against drug classes. Leucovorin Calcium is filed under 1 classification, and Ligandrol has documented interactions with 1 drug class — none of Leucovorin Calcium's classifications are among them. A medication can belong to classes beyond those recorded in our dataset, so this describes how the check was run rather than guaranteeing safety.
Does Ligandrol interact with any other medications?
Yes. Ligandrol has 370 documented drug interactions in our database — Leucovorin Calcium is simply not one of them. If you take anything else, it is worth checking each one; they are all listed on this page.
Does Leucovorin Calcium interact with any supplements?
Yes. Leucovorin Calcium has documented interactions with 17 supplements in our database — Ligandrol is not one of them. The Leucovorin Calcium interaction page linked on this page lists every one, ranked by severity.
