Internal antiparasitic of the benzimidazole family. It produces its effect against helminths, altering its ability to obtain nutrients. It acts on energy metabolism, inhibiting the enzyme fumarate-reductase, which leads to a reduction in glycogen, causing the parasite to die by starvation. It has been found that, in some parasites, the product also inhibits tubular protein synthesis. Its activity appears to be related to its sulfoxide metabolite.
