Fenbendazole 1000mg Tablets

Fenbendazole 1000mg Tablets are a potent, broad-spectrum anthelmintic medication used for the treatment and control of parasitic infections in animals, particularly in livestock and pets.

Fenbendazole works by inhibiting the energy metabolism of parasites, leading to their death and removal from the host’s body.
