Contact Our PharmacyWhat Is Albendazole?
Albendazole is a benzimidazole anthelmintic used to treat a wide range of internal parasites in animals. It works by disrupting the parasite’s energy metabolism, leading to its elimination. Since commercial products aren’t always suitable for dogs and cats, veterinarians prescribe compounded Albendazole for tailored dosing and improved administration.
Why Veterinarians Prescribe Albendazole
- Parasitic Infections – Roundworms, hookworms, tapeworms, Giardia (dogs & cats).
- Adjunct Therapy – Sometimes used in combination with other parasite treatments.
- Custom Dosing – Especially valuable for small pets that require precise mg/kg dosing.
- Alternative to Commercial Products – Compounded forms provide dosing and flavor flexibility.
Note: Albendazole is also used in livestock (cattle, sheep, goats, horses), but Rock Ridge Pharmacy compounds prescriptions only for pets under veterinarian guidance.
