In veterinary medicine, Fenbendazole For Humans is a benzimidazole anthelmintic agent commonly used to treat parasitic infections in animals. It effectively targets a broad spectrum of gastrointestinal parasites, including giardia, roundworms, hookworms, whipworms, and certain tapeworms. Fenbendazole works by binding to β-tubulin microtubule subunits, disrupting their polymerization, which impairs the parasites' ability to absorb glucose, leading to their eventual death. This mechanism ensures the elimination of parasitic infections in various animal species, such as dogs, cats, rabbits, horses, sheep, and cattle.
