Triprolidine is an antihistamine that reduces the effects of natural chemical histamine in the body. Histamine can produce symptoms of sneezing, itching, watery eyes, and runny nose.

Pseudoephedrine is a decongestant that shrinks blood vessels in the nasal passages. Dilated blood vessels can cause nasal congestion (stuffy nose).

The combination of pseudoephedrine and triprolidine is used to treat runny or stuffy nose, sneezing, itching, watery eyes, and sinus congestion caused by allergies, the common cold, or the flu.

Genac may also be used for purposes not listed in this medication guide.

Levoleucovorin injection is used as an antidote to the harmful effects of methotrexate (a cancer medicine) that is given in high doses in patients with bone cancer (osteosarcoma). It is also used to treat overdosage of certain medicines. Levoleucovorin acts the same way in the body as folic acid (vitamin B9).

Levoleucovorin injection is also used in combination with 5-fluorouracil (Adrucil®) to relieve and prevent symptoms of patients with advanced metastatic (cancer that has already spread) cancer of the colon and rectum.

Levoleucovorin is to be given only by or under the direct supervision of a doctor.
