O.K. I got the closest I could get to your advice. Now how much do I use??? This is all for my skinny Yo Yo. The product I got is called "BIG-L"
The company is SYKES VET INTERNATIONAL. It is a worm drench for sheep and cattle, and contains.....
Levamisole Hydrochl oride 32g/l ( equivalent to 27 g/l levamisole )

HELP!....

Hi Rod, There is a wide range of dosages in the archives search I did a while ago, so don't worry about extremely exact measuring.

10mg/liter every 48 hours for 3 treatment

OR

25mg-50mg/gallon (doesn't say to repeat)

Almost the same, some people are more comfortable with metric. And just in case you need to know, not to be insulting 1000mg= 1 gram, 1 teaspoon= 5ml appx., 1 ounce=2 Tablespoons=28ml appx
A lower dose of about 4-8mg/gal is also found but maybe more of a general tonic, my note isn't that specific.

If your levamisole is a powder, you can try dividing it in 1/2 or 1/4s before mixing with water so you don't get too wasteful, refrigerate leftovers. I'd also take out any carbon in your filter & do a water change between doses.HTH
