Pharmacological Action
- Flubenzole® is a synthetic derivative of benzimidazole, having a potent and broad spectrum anthelmintic activity against the nematodes, having vermicidal and ovicidal for ova of most helminthes.
- Flubenzole® acts selectively on the micro-tubular systems of nematodes and provokes
degeneration of the worm’s intestinal or absorptive cells, thereby, inhibition of glucose uptake results in depletion of parasitic glycogen stores and thus in turn results in death of the worms.
