What do Canadian pharmacies charge for Leucovorin Calcium (Leucovorin Calcium)?
We found Canadian pricing for Leucovorin Calcium starting near $9.80 per tablet in USD terms. That's before any shipping charge, which the table above breaks out separately.
Why is Leucovorin Calcium (Leucovorin Calcium) priced differently in the US and Canada?
Drug pricing is set separately in each country through different negotiation, regulatory, and distribution systems, so the same medication can legitimately carry different price tags on either side of the border. In this case, our data shows the US price is actually the lower of the two once a program like Cost Plus Drugs is factored in — the assumption that Canada is always cheaper doesn't hold for every drug.
Is Leucovorin covered by Medicare?
Most Medicare Part D and Medicare Advantage plans provide coverage for Leucovorin. Your exact copay or coinsurance amount will vary based on your plan's details, including whether you have met your deductible. To ensure you are getting the lowest available price, compare your plan's cost against the discounted rate offered by pharmacy savings programs before your purchase.
Are there any brand-name versions of Leucovorin available?
The brand-name product Wellcovorin was discontinued by its manufacturer in early 2026. Today, Leucovorin is only available as a generic medication from multiple manufacturers.
Can I use a cheaper over-the-counter product instead of Leucovorin?
For its primary uses in cancer treatment or methotrexate toxicity, there is no safe over-the-counter substitute for Leucovorin. While standard folic acid supplements are inexpensive and effective for treating simple nutritional deficiencies, they are not interchangeable with Leucovorin in an oncology setting. Chemotherapy drugs like methotrexate block a key enzyme that folic acid requires. Only Leucovorin can bypass this block. Substituting an OTC supplement in these situations can lead to severe, life-threatening toxicity and must never be done without explicit guidance from your oncologist.
