Nadh 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 Nadh 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.

Worth understanding: our licensed dataset holds no drug-interaction record for Nadh at all — not against Leucovorin Calcium, and not against any other medication we track. This verdict therefore rests on the absence of any recorded data, not on research that looked at this combination and found nothing. We cannot rule an interaction out.

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.

What Leucovorin Calcium’s Own FDA Label Lists

This is not an interaction — none of it involves Nadh. 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. Nadh’s licensed record lists no adverse effects our clinical vocabulary could match, so there is no Nadh side to compare — that is a limit of the record, not a statement that Nadh has no side effects.

Where does our data come from?
  • Source: the Natural Medicines (TRC Healthcare) clinical database — the evidence-graded professional reference for herb & supplement interactions. Nadh is not yet covered by that licensed database, so its write-up cites publicly available medical sources directly (see the references below).
  • Citation library: 103,510 references behind our interaction content, 65,311 of them resolved to verified PubMed/DOI sources. See every Nadh reference on this page ↓
  • Freshness: we automatically re-check this combination every week — this pair was last verified September 13, 2026. The Nadh and Leucovorin Calcium records this page draws on were last updated June 22, 2026.
  • What “no known interaction” means: no documented interaction in the sources above — not a guarantee of safety. Supplements are studied far less than prescription drugs, so we say exactly what the evidence supports, and nothing more.

About Nadh

What is Nadh?

  • Chronic fatigue syndrome
  • Low energy and tiredness
  • Athletic performance
  • Mental clarity and focus
  • Parkinson's disease (investigational)
  • Jet lag

NADH is the active, electron-carrying form of niacin (vitamin B3) that your body uses to make energy in cells. Some people take it as a supplement for fatigue, mental sharpness, and athletic performance, but solid human evidence is limited and mostly preliminary. It appears generally well tolerated in the short term, but talk with your pharmacist or doctor before trying it.

Not applicable (a coenzyme form of vitamin B3/niacin) · Tablets, capsules, sublingual lozenges, sometimes intravenous (clinical settings)

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

Nadh: dosing

There is no official, standardized dose of NADH. Doses used in studies have varied, and product strengths differ from brand to brand. Sublingual (under-the-tongue) forms are marketed as being better absorbed, though strong proof for this is limited.The safest approach is to follow the directions on the product label and not exceed the recommended amount. Taking it earlier in the day may help avoid sleep problems.

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
