Levafluke Oral Suspension, manufactured by Pharma Swede Egypt, is a broad-spectrum veterinary antiparasitic drench formulated specifically for livestock like cattle and sheep
Active Ingredient Combination
The effectiveness of Levafluke relies on two combined active components that work together to clear multiple types of internal parasites at once: [1]
Levamisole Hydrochloride: A potent anthelmintic that paralyzes and eliminates gastrointestinal roundworms (nematodes) and respiratory lungworms. [1, 2]
Oxyclozanide (or locally adapted flukicides like Rafoxanide): Explicitly targets and eliminates adult liver flukes (Fasciola species) residing in the bile ducts
Target Uses & Indications
Veterinarians recommend this oral drench to treat mixed parasitic infections: [1]
Stomach & Intestinal Worms: Clears infections from Haemonchus, Ostertagia, Trichostrongylus, and Bunostomum species.
Lungworms: Treats parasitic bronchitis (Dictyocaulus species), commonly known to cause severe coughing or "hoose".
Liver Flukes: Eradicates adult Fasciola hepatica and Fasciola gigantica
.
Administration Notes
Route: Administered strictly as an oral drench. [1]
Standard Dosing: The general veterinary baseline for standard levamisole/oxyclozanide mixtures is 2.5 ml per 10 kg of animal body weight. [1]
Crucial Step: You must shake the bottle thoroughly before pouring to guarantee that the settled active chemicals are uniformly mixed into the liquid suspension
Clinical Contraindications & Safety
Drug Interactions: Never administer Levafluke if the livestock have recently been treated with, or are currently taking, organophosphate compounds or diethylcarbamazine, as this drastically increases levamisole toxicity.
Withdrawal Times: Slaughter withdrawal for meat varies by formulation guidelines, usually ranging between 14 to 28 days. Check the exact product bottle label for the precise milk and meat withholding periods applicable to your region.
