Mebendazole
Anthelmintic (Anti-Worm)
A benzimidazole-class anthelmintic used to treat infections caused by parasitic worms, such as pinworms, roundworms, and hookworms. It works by selectively and irreversibly blocking the parasite's glucose uptake and disrupting its microtubular structure, leading to the worm's death. It is a key drug in deworming programs.
