Lemasol-75 Injection is a standout product in our VETERINARY ANTHELMINTIC INJECTABLE category. Manufactured to strict pharmaceutical-grade standards, Lemasol-75 delivers Levamisole Hydrochloride at the highly concentrated 75mg/ml strength in a convenient, ready-to-use 30ml multi-dose vial format making it the ideal anthelmintic injectable for large animal field veterinary practice, livestock farm management, and veterinary clinic use. Levamisole Hydrochloride is a member of the imidazothiazole chemical class of anthelmintics a completely distinct chemical class from benzimidazoles (Albendazole, Fenbendazole), macrocyclic lactones (Ivermectin, Doramectin), and tetrahydropyrimidines (Pyrantel) making it an invaluable rotation partner in integrated parasite management programmes designed to delay and manage the growing problem of anthelmintic resistance in Indian livestock. Beyond its potent nematocidal activity, Levamisole's unique additional immunostimulant property which restores depressed cell-mediated immune function and enhances antibody titre in treated animals provides the added benefit of improved resistance to infectious diseases including FMD and Rinderpest in livestock recovering from parasitic infestation and associated immunosuppression. With Lemasol-75, veterinarians and livestock managers can trust a pharmaceutical-grade, reliably dosed, and clinically versatile parenteral nematocide for comprehensive worm control across their entire animal caseload.
Composition:
- Levamisole Hydrochloride 75mg/ml (Active Ingredient): the pure L-isomer of Tetramisole, Levamisole Hydrochloride is a potent nicotinic acetylcholine receptor agonist that exerts its nematocidal activity through a dual pharmacological mechanism. The primary mechanism involves selective stimulation of nicotinic acetylcholine receptors at the neuromuscular junction of susceptible nematode parasites causing irreversible depolarisation and spastic paralysis of the nematode musculature. Unlike the flaccid paralysis produced by macrocyclic lactones (which act on glutamate-gated chloride channels), Levamisole produces spastic (tonic) paralysis the paralysed nematode is unable to maintain its position in the intestinal lumen and is expelled by normal intestinal peristalsis within hours of treatment. The secondary mechanism involves inhibition of the nematode's fumarate reductase enzyme a key enzyme in the parasite's anaerobic energy metabolism pathway disrupting ATP production and further compromising nematode survival. Together, these two complementary mechanisms ensure rapid, complete, and irreversible nematode death within 12 to 24 hours of administration. The imidazothiazole chemical class of Levamisole has a completely distinct mechanism of action from all three other major anthelmintic classes making it the most important rotation partner in anthelmintic resistance management programmes
- Levamisole's Additional Immunostimulant Property: beyond its primary nematocidal activity, Levamisole exerts a unique and clinically valuable immunomodulatory effect specifically the restoration of depressed cell-mediated immune function in immunocompromised, debilitated, or parasitosis-weakened animals. At sub-anthelmintic doses, Levamisole stimulates T-lymphocyte proliferation and maturation, enhances phagocytic activity of monocytes and macrophages, and increases antibody titre production providing meaningful immunological restoration in animals whose immune competence has been suppressed by heavy parasitic infestation, nutritional deficiency, or chronic disease. This immunostimulant benefit translates clinically into improved resistance to secondary bacterial and viral infections including FMD and Rinderpest in livestock recovering from significant nematode burdens
- Aqueous Vehicle with Stabilisers: a pharmaceutical-grade aqueous injection base incorporating appropriate pH buffering agents and stabilisers that ensure chemical stability of the Levamisole Hydrochloride active ingredient throughout the entire shelf life of the vial, maintain the pH of the solution within the optimal range for subcutaneous tolerability, and provide a completely clear, colourless injectable solution free from particulate matter
