Experience with Levamisole

[mhurley]

The dosages in that article I posted are using the tablet form...crushing the tablet, weighing them with a gem scale and dissolving them in the tank.

I haven't read up on Levamisole in quite a while and was unaware that an injectable liquid even existed. I suppose it would be just as effective if you can figure out the right dosages. Just need to buckle down and do the math.

I thought everyone was using the liquid. Do you have a link for the pills?

I'm sure someone does. I got mine at barnstocker.com, but they're closed for renovations.

And let me correct my previous statement..It's not tablets...It's powder in a bottle.

I bought the yellow labeled bottle fom Barnstocker.com

... So, if I need roughly 6 grams of levamisole to treat ~100 L of NSW, and the bottle contains 18-some odd grams... That would be 1/3rd of the bottle?
Fuzzy stoner math, but I think that's right?
Wish me luck... QT tank's up, I'm yanking the remaining acro's now.

This is a place where I can buy the powder.

Formula for pill but this is powder

<Will this work with the fw's that lay eggs?
<Also, how do you measure out 40 ppm?

Yes, it will work for the egg laying flatworm.

To calculate drug dose use the following formula:

For 100% active drug:

volume in liters of tank x ppm (drug dosage) / 1000mg/g=#of grams required of the drug

For drugs that have less than 100% active drug, you take the percentage of the active drug (Levamisole hydrochloride is 80% active w/ 20% inert ingredients) and multiply the percentage to the 1000mg/g. So...

volume in L x ppm / 800mg/g = grams of drug

So if your treating a 10 gal tank w/ 40ppm Levamisole its:

37.8L x 40ppm / 800mg/g= 1.89g of Levamisole

Keep in mind, I'm not a vet, I just play one on TV.

Should I go with the powder instead?

I quoted the wrong Formula/Directions for the liquid levamisole? I think.
