Flubendazole is a broad-spectrum benzimidazole anthelmintic used in both human and veterinary medicine to treat gastrointestinal parasites such as roundworms, hookworms, whipworms, and some tapeworms by disrupting parasite energy metabolism through tubulin inhibition. Developed in the 1970s to enhance the potency and safety of benzimidazole drugs, flubendazole gained wide acceptance due to its high efficacy, low host toxicity, and versatile formulations including oral tablets, suspensions, and veterinary boluses, making it an important tool in parasite control programs.
