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