Mebendazole, a benzimidazole carbamate derivative, is an anthelminthic with activity against most nematode and some cestode worms .It acts by irreversibly inhibiting glucose uptake by susceptible worms, resulting in depletion of the worm’s energy sources, glycogen and ATP.
Mebendazole is poorly absorbed from the GI tract. It is highly protein bound and undergoes extensive first - pass elimination, being metabolized in the liver, and is excreted mainly in the feaces.
