No other source of water should be offered. As soon as pigs have consumed all of the medicated water resume the use of regular water.Note

Salivation or muzzle foam may be observed. The reaction is occasionally seen and will disappear in a short time after the medication.
If pigs are infected with mature lungworms, coughing and vomiting may be observed soon after medicated water is consumed. The reaction is due to the expulsion of worms from the lungs and will be over in several hours. Follow the recommended dosage carefully to assure the removal of worms and avoid an overdose of levamisole.
