Description
Tetramisole is a racemic mixture of levamisole and its enantiomer dexamisole, which is a specific inhibitor of tissue non-specific alkaline phosphatase (TNAP). This drug is used in veterinary to treat ascariasis and other worm infections e.g. hookworms. And also is used as an immunostimulant (in that case it is used for longer periods of time).
