Levamisole&rsquo;s persisting role is in <strong>steroid-dependent or frequently-relapsing nephrotic syndrome<\/strong>, where it reduces relapse rate and steroid burden. It is also used in some veterinary settings.<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How does Dicaris Adults Tablet treat nephrotic syndrome?<\/h3>\n<p>Levamisole appears to restore cell-mediated immunity, reducing the immunological dysregulation underlying minimal-change nephrotic syndrome. Randomised trials show meaningful reduction in relapse rate at doses around 2.5&nbsp;mg\/kg every other day for 12&ndash;24 months. This is a specialist-supervised therapy with mandatory neutrophil monitoring.<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Can I take Dicaris Adults Tablet with alcohol?<\/h3>\n<p>Avoid alcohol during the treatment window. A disulfiram-like reaction (flushing, palpitations, nausea) is uncommon but well-documented &mdash; not worth the risk.<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Will my child take Dicaris Adults Tablet for nephrotic syndrome?<\/h3>\n<p>Long-course levamisole for nephrotic syndrome is dosed by weight (2.5&nbsp;mg\/kg every other day) and requires regular blood testing. The 150&nbsp;mg adult tablet may need to be quartered for paediatric doses; the paediatric tablet (Dicaris Children, 50&nbsp;mg) is purpose-made for this. Consult the nephrology team.<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What signs should I watch for?<\/h3>\n<p>Stop and seek medical advice immediately for any of: fever, mouth ulcers, sore throat, easy bruising, unexplained tiredness, jaundice, rash with skin breakdown. These can signal agranulocytosis or vasculitis &mdash; serious but reversible if caught early.<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Is Dicaris Adults Tablet an appetite suppressant?<\/h3>\n<p>No. Some weight loss can occur as a knock-on of severe worm-burden eradication (the parasites were stealing nutrients), but levamisole is not used for weight loss.<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Can I take Dicaris Adults Tablet during pregnancy?<\/h3>\n<p>Avoid in the first trimester. Single-dose anthelmintic use later in pregnancy is acceptable for moderate-to-heavy worm burden under medical supervision. Long-course immunomodulatory use should not start during pregnancy.<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How quickly does Dicaris Adults Tablet work for worms?<\/h3>\n<p>Adult worms are paralysed within hours and passed within 24&ndash;72 hours. A single 150&nbsp;mg dose is usually enough for ascariasis. Re-test stool 2&ndash;4 weeks later if symptoms persist.<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Will Dicaris Adults Tablet treat scabies or ringworm?<\/h3>\n<p>No. Levamisole is for nematodes (especially ascaris) and immunomodulation. Scabies needs ivermectin or permethrin; ringworm is fungal and needs an antifungal (clotrimazole, terbinafine).<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What is the cocaine adulterant warning about?<\/h3>\n<p>Levamisole was historically used as a cocaine adulterant, which caused agranulocytosis cases in users worldwide. This is a public-health concern about illicit drug supply &mdash; the therapeutic use of levamisole under medical supervision (with monitoring) is well-established and safe.<\/p>\n<p
