Opinion please! Is this product safe to take?
I'm thinking of taking this dog dewormer. Do you think it will be safe to take? What dose should I take? Thanks.
It contains levamisole and niclosamide.
I'm looking into levamisole and niclosamide. Niclosamide is crystalline in structure and passes out of the body within a few days. Very little is absorbed by the digestive tract. It's considered relaatively safe, non-toxic.
Levamisole, on the other hand, has been withdrawn in some countries. There have been fatalities. It's still used as a part of chemotherapy in some cancers, and some other medicinal uses. It seems it's important not to take it more than 2 consecutive days, and not to take too big a dose. It's recommended to take a purge 1-2 hours after taking levamisole, to prevent scattering of the
Tapeworm eggs, which are not killed by the levamisole.
What should I use to purge???

Very grateful for any opinions. Trying to get rid of mixed
parasite infection. I'm currently on day 3 of second course of Mebendazole, and it is making very little difference. Something very large in my digestive system. Trying to remain cheerful.
