Febantel is widely used in veterinary medicine as an anthelmintic, primarily to treat and control gastrointestinal parasites in animals. It is effective against a range of parasitic worms, including roundworms, tapeworms, and flukes, in livestock such as cattle, sheep, and pigs, as well as in companion animals like dogs and cats. The compound works by disrupting the energy metabolism of the parasites, leading to their paralysis and eventual elimination from the host's body. Febantel is often administered orally, either as a standalone treatment or in combination with other antiparasitic agents to enhance its efficacy. Its broad-spectrum activity and safety profile make it a valuable tool in maintaining animal health and preventing the spread of parasitic infections in both farm and domestic settings.
