Fenbendazole
Fenbendazole is an antiparasitic medication primarily used to treat and control various intestinal worms and parasites in animals, such as dogs, cats, cattle, and horses. It belongs to a class of drugs known as benzimidazoles, which work by disrupting the energy metabolism of parasites, ultimately killing them. It is commonly used to treat roundworms, hookworms, whipworms, and certain types of tapeworms. In veterinary medicine, Fenbendazole is considered safe and effective, and it is often found in products like Panacur and Safe-Guard. It is available in different forms, including granules, suspensions, and pastes, depending on the animal species and treatment needs.

Fenbendazole has also attracted attention for its potential anti-cancer properties in humans, though this use is still under study and not officially approved. Some early research and anecdotal reports suggest it may interfere with cancer cell growth, but more scientific evidence is needed before it can be considered safe or effective for human cancer treatment. Veterinarians may recommend it for both treatment and preventive deworming schedules.
