Pharmacological properties

Anthelminthics (Benzimidazoles and related substances)

ATC Vet code: QP52AC13

Contains fenbendazole which is a member of the benzimidazole family of anthelmintics and has been in veterinary use for a number of years. Fenbendazole acts against parasites by disrupting the formation of microtubules by binding to tubulin in parasitic intestinal cells hence preventing the absorption of glucose, parasites are gradually starved to death. Fenbendazole displays preference for parasitic as opposed to mammalian tubulin; this appears to be due to the fact that the formation of the parasitic tubulin-fenbendazole complex is more favourable kinetically under physiological conditions than the mammalian complex.
