Fenbendazole

Fenbendazole is a broad-spectrum anthelmintic drug that is effective against a wide range of gastrointestinal parasites in animals, including nematodes, cestodes, and trematodes. It works by inhibiting the synthesis of microtubules, disrupting the parasite's metabolic processes and ultimately leading to its death.
