Fenbendazole 500 Mg is an anthelmintic (deworming) medication widely used to treat a range of parasitic worm infections. It works by disrupting the energy metabolism of parasites, causing them to die and be eliminated from the body. Proper use is important to ensure effectiveness and safety.

General Guidelines for Use
Fenbendazole 500 mg is usually taken orally. The tablet may be swallowed whole or crushed and mixed with food, especially for animals that resist medication. It is commonly administered with meals, as food helps improve absorption. The exact dosage and duration depend on the type of parasite being treated, the species (human or animal), body weight, and the severity of infection.

Typical Dosage Approach
In veterinary practice, Fenbendazole 500 mg is often given once daily for 3 to 5 consecutive days. Some infections may require repeated courses after a gap to ensure complete elimination of worms and larvae. In certain cases, longer treatment periods may be recommended by a veterinarian or healthcare professional.

For Human Use
Although Fenbendazole is primarily approved for veterinary use, it has been prescribed in some countries for specific human parasitic infections under medical supervision. When used in humans, dosage schedules are carefully determined by a doctor based on the infection type and patient condition. Self-medication is not recommended.

Precautions and Safety
Fenbendazole is generally well tolerated, but mild side effects such as nausea, abdominal discomfort, or headache may occur. It should be used cautiously in pregnant individuals and those with liver conditions. Always complete the full course even if symptoms improve early.
