Levamisole is used in the treatment of worm infections.
How Levamisole works
Levamisole is an anti-parasitic medication. It works by suppressing the enzyme activity in the worm’s muscle, causing its paralysis and death. This treats your infection.
- You have been prescribed Levamisole to treat a variety of parasitic worm infections.
- It should be taken with food.
- Do not crush, chew, or break the tablet. Swallow it whole with a full glass of water.
- It can be harmful to an unborn baby. Do not take it during pregnancy. Use birth control measures to prevent pregnancy while taking Levamisole.
- Your doctor may monitor your blood counts and liver function before you start taking this medicine and regularly throughout your treatment.
- Avoid being near people who are sick or have infections. Inform your doctor if you develop signs of infection.
- Do not skip doses and finish the prescribed course, even if you start to feel better. Stopping it early may increase your risk of further infection.
