LEVAMISOLE HYDROCHLORIDE BOLUS 300MG Veterinary
Administration and Dosage
For cattle, sheep and goats: 7.5mg/kg of body weight for oral dosing
For poultry: 25mg/kg of body weight for oral dosing
Side-effects
Symptoms of levamisole toxicity often mimic those of organophosphate toxicity. Symptoms may include hypersalivation, hyperesthesias and irritability, clonic seizures, CNS depression, dyspnea, defecation, urination, and collapse. These effects are best treated by supportive means, as animals generally recover within hours of dosing. Acute levamisole overdosage can result in death due to respiratory failure. Should respiratory failure occur, artificial ventilation with oxygen should be instituted until recovery takes place.

1. Use cautiously in pregnant animals and in animals that are stressed.
2. Levamisole is not approved for use in camel and lactating animals. It should be used cautiously in horses.
