Fenbendazole Oral Suspension

Active Ingredients: Fenbendazole

Fenbendazole Oral Suspension is an anthelmintic drug used to treat gastrointestinal and respiratory worm infections in many species of animals such as cats, cows, dogs, goats, horses, poultry, sheep, and pigs. It is an effective treatment for parasites such as Bunostomum, Haemonchus, Nematodirus, Ostertagia, Strongyloides, and lungworms like Dictyocaulus viviparus.

Fenbendazole is classified as a benzimidazole carbamate. It shows a broad spectrum of activity against both mature and immature nematodes and cestodes. Fenbendazole works by inhibiting glucose uptake. This drains a parasite's glycogen reserves, which leads to its death.

This drug is also known for its relatively high safety margin, making it suitable for use in a variety of animals, including those that are pregnant or lactating. It is also versatile in its administration, often available in forms such as oral suspensions, granules, and paste, allowing for ease of use across different animal species and sizes. Its widespread efficacy and safety profile have made Fenbendazole a staple in veterinary parasitic disease management.

This anthelmintic is an FDA-approved medication for animals. It is important to note that this formulation of Fenbendazole is for veterinary purposes only.
