Explanation:
We call this IV piggyback (IVPB) when the solution is connected to a Y tubing of the primary IV site. The second reference below explains this. So it would be translated:
"...administered IV piggyback with Folic Acid"
Chemotherapy and biotherapy: guidelines and recommendations for practice.
Piggyback, or short-term, infusion
Insert the connecting tubing into the appropriate primary tubing y-site; follow the drug manufacturer's guidelines. (Some manufacturers recommend connecting at the highest y-site; others, at the lowest.) Use a Luer-lock connection or some other locking device to prevent disconnection
