CROBENDAZOLE

CROBENDAZOLE Uses, Dosage, Side Effects, Food Interaction and all others data.

2-Substituted benzimidazole first introduced in 1962. It is active against a variety of nematodes and is the drug of choice for strongyloidiasis. It has CNS side effects and hepatototoxic potential. (From Smith and Reynard, Textbook of Pharmacology, 1992, p919)

CROBENDAZOLE is a fungicide and parasiticide. CROBENDAZOLE is also a chelating agent, which means that it is used medicinally to bind metals in cases of metal poisoning, such as lead poisoning, mercury poisoning or antimony poisoning. CROBENDAZOLE is vermicidal and/or vermifugal against Ascaris lumbricoides ("common roundworm"), Strongyloides stercoralis (threadworm), Necator americanus, Ancylostoma duodenale (hookworm), Trichuris trichiura (whipworm), Ancylostoma braziliense (dog and cat hookworm), Toxocara canis, Toxocara cati (ascarids), and Enterobius vermicularis (pinworm). CROBENDAZOLE also suppresses egg and/or larval production and may inhibit the subsequent development of those eggs or larvae which are passed in the feces.

Uses

CROBENDAZOLE is a benzimidazole used in the treatment of strongyloides, cutaneous larva migrans, visceral larva migrans, and trichinosis infections.

For the treatment of strongyloidiasis (threadworm), cutaneous larva migrans (creeping eruption), visceral larva migrans, and trichinosis.

How CROBENDAZOLE works

The precise mode of action of thiabendazole on the parasite is unknown, but it most likely inhibits the helminth-specific enzyme fumarate reductase.

Toxicity

Overdosage may be associated with transient disturbances of vision and psychic alterations. The oral LD 50 is 3.6 g/kg, 3.1 g/kg and 3.8 g/kg in the mouse, rat, and rabbit respectively.

CROBENDAZOLE Disease Interaction

Moderate: supportive therapy, liver disease, renal dysfunction

Elimination Route

Rapidly absorbed and peak plasma concentration is reached within 1 to 2 hours after the oral administration of a suspension. Some systemic absorption may occur from topical preparations applied to the skin.

Half Life

The half-life for thiabendazole in both normal and anephric patients is 1.2 hours (range 0.9 to 2 hours). The half-life for the 5-hydroxythiabendazole metabolite in both normal and anephric patients is 1.7 hours (range 1.4 to 2 hours).

Elimination Route

It is metabolized almost completely to the 5-hydroxy form which appears in the urine as glucuronide or sulfate conjugates.
