How does Panacur for Horses and Ponies work?
The active ingredient in Panacur for Horses and Ponies Is fenbendazole, which belongs to a group of medicines called broad spectrum benzimidazole anthelmintics. It’s effective against a range of gastrointestinal parasites and it works by disrupting their ability to grow and produce energy. This effectively starves the parasite and kills them.
Once the worms have been killed, they are then passed in your horse’s stool, but may be unnoticeable as the bowels can destroy them.
