Fenbendazole is a broad spectrum benzimidazole anthelmintic used against gastrointestinal parasites.
It is used against: giardia, roundworms, hookworms, whipworms, the tapeworm genus Taenia (but not effective against Dipylidium caninum, a common dog tapeworm), pinworms, aelurostrongylus, paragonimiasis, strongyles, and strongyloides that can be administered to sheep, cattle, horses, fish, dogs, cats, rabbits, most reptiles, freshwater shrimp tanks as planaria and hydra treatments, as well as seals.
During the last few decades its been observed that fenbendazole as well as comparable drugs demonstrated a significant anti-cancer impact.
Benzimidazole class drugs may perform similarly as a broad range of contemporary chemotherapeutic medications like Taxol and vinca alkaloids.
The accessible toxicological data indicates that fenbendazole appears to be well accepted in people after oral contact, though there are still few studies with humans.
