Indications
LEVASOLE® (levamisole hydrochloride) is a broad-spectrum anthelmintic, and is effective against the following nematode infections in swine:

- Nodular Worms: Oesophagostomum spp.
- Lungworms: Metastrongylus spp.

Dosage and Administration
Preparation of Soluble Pig Wormer Solution: When ready to deworm pigs, add water to the powder in the bottle up to the 500 mL mark. Agitate to mix thoroughly before using. If any solution is left over, it may be stored for up to three (3) months in the tightly capped bottle; shake well before using.

Withholding water from pigs prior to treatment is not necessary for optimum anthelmintic efficacy and is not recommended during hot weather. Add 10 mL (2 teaspoons) of the solution from the bottle to one (1) gallon of water; mix thoroughly. Allow one (1) gallon of medicated water for each 100 pounds of body weight of pigs to be treated. No other source of water should be offered. As soon as pigs have consumed all of the medicated water resume the use of regular water.

Note: Careful estimates of pig weights are essential for the proper performance of the product. Pigs maintained under conditions of constant worm exposure may require retreatment within 4-5 weeks after the first treatment due to reinfection.


Caution(s)
Consult a veterinarian before administering LEVASOLE® to sick swine.

Consult a veterinarian for assistance in the diagnosis, treatment and control of parasitism. Salivation or muzzle foam may be observed. The reaction is occasionally seen and will disappear in a short time after the medication.

If pigs are infected with mature lungworms, coughing and vomiting may be observed soon after medicated water is consumed. The reaction is due to the expulsion of worms from the lungs and will be over in several hours. Follow the recommended dosage carefully to ensure the removal of worms and avoid an overdose of LEVASOLE®.
Keep out of the reach of children.


Warning(s)
Do not administer within 72 hours of slaughter for food.
