Administer 100 mg of Levamisole by mouth three times daily. However, in the case of gastric ulcers, it should be taken in the morning, evening, and before bedtime.

This medication should not be administered to patients who have shown allergic reactions to any of its ingredients. While using this medication, serious allergic reactions such as shock or anaphylaxis may rarely occur; thus, the patient's condition should be closely monitored during administration. Since there may be a decrease in white blood cell count or platelet count, it is important to regularly check the blood condition. As liver function may be affected, it is necessary to periodically check liver function test results and discontinue administration immediately if any abnormalities are detected. Allergic symptoms such as hives, rashes, or itching may occur; therefore, the medication should be discontinued if these symptoms arise. There may be neurological symptoms such as dizziness, drowsiness, or numbness, so caution is required when driving or operating machinery. Gastrointestinal symptoms may include dry mouth, constipation, abdominal distension, diarrhea, nausea, vomiting, heartburn, abdominal pain, belching, and alteration in taste. Women who are pregnant or may become pregnant should only use this medication if the benefits of treatment outweigh the risks, and breastfeeding should be avoided as this medication may be passed into breast milk. The safety in children or neonates has not been sufficiently confirmed, so caution should be exercised when using it in these age groups. Elderly patients may have decreased bodily functions, so particular attention should be paid to gastrointestinal adverse reactions. Store this medication in a safe place out of the reach of children, and it is recommended not to transfer it to another container. This is essential for maintaining the quality of the medication and preventing accidents.
