A lesson on leucovorin
Manage episode 514848556 series 2491873
Two pediatricians, a child neurologist and a child psychiatrist walk into the ASF weekly science podcast to discuss the safety, efficacy and appropriateness of leucovorin, the drug that the HHS is fast tracking through the FDA approval process. Does it work? Is it safe? What should I do or know when I talk to my doctor?
Here is a link to the statement by the Society of Developmental and Behavioral Pediatrics: https://sdbp.org/sdbp-statements-regarding-leucovorin-tylenol-and-autism/
Here are the four studies mentioned:
- Folinic acid improves verbal communication in children with autism and language impairment: a randomized double-blind placebo-controlled trial
- Efficacy of oral folinic acid supplementation in children with autism spectrum disorder: a randomized double-blind, placebo-controlled trial
- Folinic acid improves the score of Autism in the EFFET placebo-controlled randomized trial
- Safety and Efficacy of High-Dose Folinic Acid in Children with Autism: The Impact of Folate Metabolism Gene Polymorphisms
Here is a requested correction to one of the papers where a calculation error was made:
