<strong>Indication: </strong>

Levamisole has relatively good activity against abomasal nematodes, small intestinal nematodes (not particularly good against <em>Strongyloides</em> spp.), large intestinal nematodes (not <em>Trichuris</em> spp.), and lungworms. Adult forms of species that are usually covered by levamisole, include: <em>Haemonchus</em> spp., <em>Trichostrongylus</em> spp., <em>Osteragia</em> spp., <em>Cooperia</em> spp., <em>Nematodirus</em> spp., <em>Bunostomum</em> spp., <em>Oesophagostomum</em> spp., <em>Chabertia</em> spp., and <em>Dictyocaulus vivapurus</em>. Levamisole is less effective against the immature forms of these parasites and is generally ineffective in cattle (but not sheep) against arrested larval forms.

<strong>Contraindication: </strong>

Administration within 14 days of treatment with organophosphorus compounds or diethylcarbamazine; application of ‘pour-on’ formulations to wet animals. Levamisole is contraindicated in lactating animals (not approved). It should be used cautiously, if at all, in animals that are severely debilitated, or have significant renal or hepatic impairment. Use cautiously or, preferably, delay use in cattle that are stressed due to vaccination, dehorning or castration. Levamisole is not indicated for use as a dirofilarial adulticide. There is no information regarding the safety of this drug in pregnant animals. Although levamisole is considered relatively safe to use in large animals that are pregnant, use only if the potential benefits outweigh the risks.
