Triclabendazole is an antiparasitic medication primarily used to treat infections caused by liver flukes, particularly Fasciola hepatica and Fasciola gigantica. It works by disrupting the metabolism of the parasites, leading to their death. This drug is often prescribed for conditions like fascioliasis, which can affect livestock and humans.
Triclabendazole is typically administered orally and is well-absorbed in the body. It is considered effective and safe, with few side effects reported. The medication is especially important in regions where liver fluke infections are common, helping to improve both animal and human health.
