摘要

Injectable aqueous compositions comprising folic acid and leucovorin and their salts, optionally including benzyl alcohol, sodium chloride and agents for adjusting pH are stabilized and buffered in the range of 6 to 10 by adding a combination of tromethamine and monothioglycerol. Such compositions remain stable for prolonged periods even when exposed to sunlight.
