What does it do?

Flubendazole is a drug in the anthelmintic class that is used to eliminate parasites. It is primarily used to treat intestinal parasitic infections and is effective against several types of nematodes and trematodes.

Flubendazole disrupts the formation of microtubules within the parasite's cells, inhibiting energy production. As a result, the parasite finds it difficult to move and absorb nutrients, ultimately leading to its death.
