How Lemisol Products work
Levamisole acts as an anthelmintic by selectively targeting the neuromuscular system of parasitic worms. It works as a nicotinic acetylcholine receptor (nAChR) agonist, causing continuous stimulation of the parasite’s nervous system. This leads to muscle contraction, paralysis, and eventual expulsion of the worms from the host’s body.
