Levamisole Hydrochloride (Levamisole HCl), is an anthelmintic (anti-worm) agent commonly used in large livestock such as cattle, pigs and sheep. In 1971 it was found to have immunostimulatory properties and investigation into its use in humans began to expand.
Anthelmintic Agent: Levamisole HCl is primarily used as an anthelmintic (dewormer) in veterinary medicine, effectively treating a wide range of parasitic worms in livestock and companion animals.
Immunomodulator: In human medicine, it has been explored as an immunomodulator, enhancing the immune system's response against certain diseases, particularly in combination therapies for cancer and certain autoimmune disorders.
Diagnostic Aid: In low doses, Levamisole HCl can be administered as a diagnostic tool to detect occult (hidden) blood loss in the gastrointestinal tract, aiding in the diagnosis of conditions like Crohn's disease.
Parasitic Worm Elimination: Its primary function is to disrupt the energy metabolism of parasitic worms, leading to their paralysis and subsequent elimination from the host's body.
Immune System Modulation: By modulating the immune system, Levamisole HCl can stimulate the production of white blood cells and enhance the body's ability to fight infections and certain types of cancer.
Diagnostic Marker: In diagnostic applications, it functions as a provocative agent that can induce a temporary increase in intestinal permeability, allowing for the detection of minute amounts of blood that might otherwise be missed.
