Advice for Patients

If you are taking or have taken levamisole:

• Contact your doctor or pharmacist
• Ask about safe alternatives
• Do not panic—cases are rare, but awareness is important

Key Takeaway

This decision highlights an important principle in medicine:

 A drug is only approved as long as its benefits outweigh its risks

In the case of levamisole:

• Risks = neurological complications
• Benefits = treatment of mild conditions

 Result: Withdrawal from the market
