What is Dicaris (Levamisole) used for?

Dicaris (Levamisole) is an oral cancer medication used to treat patients suffering from several forms of cancer including melanoma, colon cancer, or cancer affecting the head or neck. It operates by slowing or stopping the spread and growth of cancer cells. This allows other procedures to be performed to completely eliminate any remaining cancer cells. Your doctor may also prescribe this medication for the treatment of other unlisted conditions.

How should I use Dicaris (Levamisole)?

Do not change the form of the tablets by crushing or splitting them as this may destroy or alter the effects of their contents.
