Product characteristics:
Fenbendazole is a drug prescribed by veterinarians to treat intestinal parasites. It kills roundworms, whipworms, hookworms, and tapeworms in pets. It is only FDA-approved in dogs, but veterinarians often prescribe Fenbendazole to cats as well.Fenbendazole works by interrupting the parasites’ cellular transport and metabolism. They diminish the parasites’ energy reserves and limit their ability to eliminate waste and produce protective factors from their cells.
