Anthelmintic Effect of Flubendazole in Dogs

Effcacy of two flubendazole formulations against Trichuris vulpis in naturally infected dogs

“…T vulpis is known to be a relatively drug-insensitive nematode species (Bauer 1994). Previous investigations have shown that flubendazole is one of the few compounds which is effective against this nematode species (Noda andHorie 1982, Vanparijs andothers 1985). The objective ofthe present study was to compare the efficacy oftwo flubendazole formulations, 220 mg chewable tablets (Janssen Pharmaceutica NV) and 4.4 per cent paste (Flubenol KH; Janssen Pharmaceutica Nv), against adult T vulpis in a controlled test.…”
