Re: [Killietalk] flubendazole or other drug to kill snails

["Edd Kray" <edd at catfishnthecrawlers_com>]

Barry isn't it fenbendezole that goes under more common commercial name of
"Panacure"? I believe I obtained that from my vet....and yes, it is less
soluble in water but still produced a similar effect.

Actually that's not quite correct. Flubendazole is not an ingredient in 
any commercially available anthelmintic that I know of. However, 
fenbendazole is and if flubendazole works, so should the latter. For 
that matter, if flubendazole works, Fluketabs probably will too.

Flubendazole and fenbendazole (and a whole group of other imidazole 
anthelminitics) are functionally equivalent. Flubendazole was the drug 
of choice for our use as it is the most water soluble of the group.

I make these comments purely for the accuracy of the record and so that 
a DVM won't say "we don't have anything with flubendazole"! What Bob 
says is "functionally correct".
