Recent international media reports have highlighted statements by U.S. President Donald Trump regarding increased focus on autism research. During these discussions, the medication Leucovorin (Folinic Acid) was mentioned as a drug currently being studied for its potential benefits in managing certain symptoms in some individuals with autism.
Medical experts emphasize that Leucovorin is not a cure for autism, and its use remains experimental, requiring careful medical supervision. Families and caregivers are encouraged to rely on evidence-based therapies and consult qualified healthcare professionals before considering any medical intervention.
Leucovorin is available at our hospital and can be purchased strictly with a valid, approved medical prescription issued by a qualified healthcare professional.
