Usage

General Description

Levamisole is a synthetic anthelmintic drug that is commonly used in veterinary medicine to treat parasitic infections in animals. It is also occasionally used in human medicine as an adjunct to chemotherapy for certain types of cancer. Levamisole works by paralyzing and killing the parasites, making it easier for the body to eliminate them. It also stimulates the immune system to attack and destroy the parasites. In recent years, levamisole has gained attention as a cutting agent for cocaine, as it can enhance the effects of the drug. However, it has been associated with serious side effects and has been banned in many countries for this use.
