Fenbendazole belongs to the Benzimidazole (1 - BZ) class of anthelmintics.

In cases of lungworm infection coughing may persist for a considerable time following successful treatment. This is due to tissue damage caused by the parasites.

After dosing animals should be moved to clean pasture. If this is not done re-treatment at regular intervals will be required to prevent re-infection.
