Fenbendazole 444Mg Tablet - Uses, Price and Side Effects
-
Fenbendazole UK works by interfering with the energy metabolism of parasites, blocking their ability to absorb nutrients and causing them to die and be eliminated from the host’s body. It’s widely used to treat intestinal worm infections such as roundworms, hookworms, whipworms, and some tapeworms, and may also target certain protozoal infections like Giardia. Fenbendazole is commonly used in veterinary medicine for pets and livestock and sometimes explored in research settings beyond standard use.
Fenbendazole is generally well tolerated, but side effects can occur. The most common reactions are mild and transient, including nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, abdominal discomfort, headache, or decreased appetite. Less common issues reported include allergic reactions, fatigue, or rare liver enzyme elevation — the latter especially with prolonged or off-label use.
Fenbendazole should be used only as directed by a veterinarian or physician, especially for off-label or human use, as its primary approval is for animals. Consult a professional for appropriate dosing and to evaluate risks based on health status and other medications.
