Composition :
Each 1ml contains:
Fenbendazole 200 mg
Properties:
Fenbendazole is an anthelmintic belonging to the benzimidazole-carbamate group. It acts by
interfering with the energy metabolism of the nematode.
Fenbendazole inhibits the polymerisation of tubulin to microtubules. This interferes with essential structural and functional properties of the cells of helminths, such as formation of the cytoskeleton, formation of the mitotic spindle and the uptake and intracellular transport of nutrients and metabolic products. Fenbendazole is effective and has a dose dependent effect on adult and immature stages.
Fenbendazole has an ovicidal effect on nematode eggs.
