Oxibendazole（Cat No.:A000352）is a broad-spectrum benzimidazole anthelmintic commonly used to treat parasitic infections in animals, including horses, cattle, and dogs. It works by inhibiting tubulin polymerization, which disrupts the formation of microtubules in parasite cells, leading to impaired cellular functions and eventual death of the parasite. Effective against a range of intestinal worms, such as roundworms, strongyles, and pinworms, oxibendazole is valued for its efficacy and safety in veterinary medicine. Its ability to target parasite microtubules makes it a crucial component in parasite control programs for livestock and pets.
