  • Title: Flubendazole versus mebendazole in intestinal helminthic infections.
    Author: Feldmeier H, Bienzle U, Döhring E, Dietrich M.
    Journal: Acta Trop; 1982 Jun; 39(2):185-9. PubMed ID: 6126101.
    Abstract:
    In a double-blind study the vermicidal effect of flubendazole, a new benzimidazole derivative, was evaluated and compared to mebendazole. Both drugs were administered in a single dose of 600 mg. While in the treatment of Ascaris and hookworm infestations flubendazole and mebendazole showed a similar efficacy, mebendazole seemed to be slightly superior in the treatment of trichuriasis. Both drugs were well tolerated and no side effects were observed even in patients with a heavy worm load.
