Levamisole HCl
IP.........................................300 mg
Description:
Levamisole hydrochloride is a
cholinomimetic agent with broad-spectrum anthelmintic and immunomodulatory
properties.
Neuromuscular Disruption:
Levamisole acts as a ganglionic stimulant, mimicking acetylcholine activity at
nicotinic receptors, leading to spastic paralysis of nematodes, which are then
expelled from the host.
Metabolic Inhibition: It inhibits
fumarate reductase, a key enzyme in the anaerobic metabolism of parasites,
disrupting energy production and leading to worm death.
Immunostimulation: Levamisole
enhances cell-mediated immunity (CMI) by stimulating T-lymphocytes,
macrophages, and natural killer (NK) cells, improving immune response in
immunocompromised animals.
Levamisole HCl is used for the
treatment and prophylaxis of nematode infestations, including roundworms in
both adult and larval stages. Additionally, it serves as an immune stimulant in
animals with weakened immune function.
Withdrawal time: For meat

Purpose and Conditions of Use:
