What is Levamisole HCL?
Active Ingredients: Levamisole HCL
Levamisole HCL Tablets are a drug used to treat parasitic infections, specifically ascariasis and hookworm infections. This medication is used as an adjuvant to increase survival rates during surgery in patients with advanced colon cancer. It is also used to treat malignant melanoma and head or neck cancer.
Levamisole belongs to the class of medicines called anthelmintics. It works as a nicotinic acetylcholine receptor agonist, which causes the continued stimulation of the parasitic worm muscles, leading to paralysis.
