What is this medicine?
Wormentel 150 mg contains fenbendazole, a broad-spectrum anthelmintic (anti-worm) medication. It’s primarily used to treat intestinal parasitic worm infections caused by roundworms, hookworms, whipworms, tapeworms, and pinworms. Fenbendazole works by binding to beta-tubulin in worms, disrupting their glucose uptake and causing them to starve and die.
