General description

Levamisole, an antihelminthic drug used to treat worm infestations in humans and animals, is an adulterant and cutting agent found in cocaine sold in the US and Canada. From 2008-2009, levamisole was detected in 69% of cocaine samples seized by the US Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA).

Application


  • Immunomodulatory research: The study explored the potential immunomodulatory effects of levamisole hydrochloride in humans and farm animals, highlighting its utility in enhancing immune responses and its therapeutic potential across a range of conditions (Gholami et al., 2023).

  • Anthelmintic research: A study developed a real-time detection method for the levamisole resistance variant in Haemonchus contortus, illustrating the role of levamisole hydrochloride in understanding and managing anthelmintic resistance (Antonopoulos et al., 2024).

Systemic complications of levamisole-adulterated cocaine (LAC) use have recently been described. The objective of this review is to increase awareness of these manifestations among oral and maxillofacial surgeons. LAC exposure through inhalation, nasal insufflation, or injection can induce cutaneous vasculopathy
