    Product Description

    Oxibendazole is a benzimidazole anthelmintic.1 It inhibits binding of [3H]mebendazole to H. contortus L3 larval tubulin and inhibits mammalian tubulin polymerization (IC50s = 0.3 and 2.2 µM, respectively).1 When used in combination with the anthelmintic niclosamide (Item No. 10649), oxibendazole (15 mg/kg) reduces fecal worm egg counts in dogs and cats by greater than 90% for the nematodes T. canis, T. vulpis, A. caninum, and T. leonine.2 It also reduces fecal egg counts of strongyles in horses when administered at a dose of 10 mg/kg per day.3 Formulations containing oxibendazole have been used in the prevention and treatment of parasitic worm infections in dogs and the treatment of parasitic worm infections in horses.
