Fenbendazole Capsules

Fenbendazole is an antiparasitic and anthelmintic that presents a wide spectrum of activity against a number of parasitic worms in dogs, cats, horses, sheep, rabbits, pigs, goats, seals, and other species. It has been used successfully to eliminate giardia, roundworms (Toxocara canis, Toxascaris leonina), hookworms, whipworms, the Taenia genus of tapeworms, and pinworms (Aelurostrongylus gallicus, Paragonimus kellicotti) in animals.

It is a member of the 2-benzimidazole carbamic acid ester class of compounds and acts by binding to b-tubulin in the parasite. This results in loss of function in the microtubules, which ultimately causes detachment of the parasite from the host cell and death.

It also inhibits the production of energy in the worm and starves it. This activity is also independent of oxygen, so fenbendazole has been shown to be effective in the presence of severe hypoxia.

Efficacy in treating a variety of intestinal parasites has been demonstrated with both oral and injectable doses of fenbendazole. It has been successful in eradicating the pinworm infestations of dogs with Giardia and is very useful in controlling these infections.

This medication is available by prescription only from your veterinarian in granule, liquid, chew, and capsule forms. It is easy to administer and can be mixed into your pet’s food. It is completely excreted within 48 hours and does not build up in the body. It can be given at the recommended dose for 3 days in a row or longer as needed. This medication is safe to use in pregnant and nursing pets.

Fenbendazole can cause an allergic reaction in some pets, so your vet will want to monitor your pet for signs of a reaction during treatment, such as facial swelling, hives, rashes, itching, vomiting, or diarrhea. If you notice any of these symptoms, contact your veterinary office immediately.

This medicine can interact with other medications, including methotrexate. Check the Drug Interaction Chart for more information.

EMT6 mammary carcinoma cells were used to evaluate the cytotoxic effects of fenbendazole alone and in combination with radiation and docetaxel. Intensive fenbendazole treatments were toxic to the tumor cells in vitro, and the toxicity increased with increasing duration of exposure and under conditions of severe hypoxia. These cytotoxic effects of fenbendazole were independent of radiation and did not potentiate the antineoplastic effect of docetaxel or other nitroheterocyclic chemotherapeutic agents.
