Uses
Anthelmintic agent used to treat ascariasis (roundworm infection) and other nematode infections. It is also used off-label as an immunomodulator in some oncology protocols.
Do not use if
Contraindicated in patients with known hypersensitivity to levamisole. Use with caution in patients with hepatic or renal impairment and in those with a history of blood dyscrasias.
Side effects
May cause nausea, vomiting, abdominal discomfort, and headache. Rare but serious adverse effects include agranulocytosis, leukopenia, and neurological disturbances.
Warnings
Monitor blood counts with prolonged use due to risk of agranulocytosis. Patients should report any signs of infection, mouth sores, or unusual bruising immediately. Avoid use during pregnancy unless clearly necessary.
How it works
Levamisole acts on nematodes by causing spastic paralysis through sustained activation of nicotinic acetylcholine receptors in worm muscle tissue, leading to expulsion of the parasite. Its immunomodulatory properties include stimulation of T-lymphocyte function.
Storage
Store at room temperature, below 30°C, protected from light and moisture. Keep out of reach of children.
