My 47 y/o husband is currently inpatient at a hospital. He is not eating and drinking a lot. He is hooked up to fluids via iv. Is this enough hydration for me to be giving him 222mg fenben? He has stage IV melanoma. He is currently being treated with chemo pills 5 days every 28 days. I waited 2 days to start the fenben after the last chemo dose.
Hello, Star. Thank you for a question.
Yes, fluids administered via IV should be enough. It is really great, that you decided to make a short pause after Chemo. 222mg is a relatively safe dose and should not cause any adverse effects.
Hello, Tony, thank you for a question.
That is not correct. According to your dogs weight (30 pounds = 13 kilograms), he/she should take 222mg once a day for four days in a row. Then, for the next three days, do not give your pet fenbendazole. Repeat this cycle every week. Also consider supplements for your dogs liver health and check liver enzymes.
I have a few additional questions to add from my previous post. The video from Dr. Rogers at this site recommends 444mg of the Fenben if you are fighting cancer and 222mg for preventative whereas the protocol showing only 222mg based on my weight and with cancer. Also, he stated the Fenben and Artemisinn ok to take in addition to chemo but did not mention anything about stopping the Fenben protocol right before and after each session. Thank you
Hello, Kimberly.
444 mg is an acceptable dose in the majority of situations. Nevertheless, the video missed to provide any information regarding the patient’s weight. Should you observe no adverse effects while taking 222 mg, you are free to increase the dosage if you so choose. However, be sure to monitor your liver enzymes and consider the possibility of liver toxicity. While a dose of 444 mg is generally well tolerated, we advise you to at least begin with a dose that is correlated to your weight, which in your case is 222 mg.
In response to your second question, you may pause during your chemotherapy round in order to maximize its benefits. Fenben does not cause harm when taken in conjunction with conventional treatment; however, it does diminish the efficacy of conventional treatment slightly.
I will be seeing my Oncologist on the 23rd of this month to discuss chemo treatment for the first time. I believe I will be starting chemo in about a week after my appointment. I do not know how many days a week I will be getting treatment but I saw one of your replies not to take the Fenbendazole few days prior and a day or two after chemo. Sounds like I should wait to speak with Oncologist first to see how many times a week I will be getting chemo if that is the case but I was hoping to start the protocol asap. Would you recommend to wait or just to go ahead and start? Thank You
Hello, Kimberly, thank you for a question.
We believe that the most effective course of action is to wait for a doctor’s appointment before developing a protocol for fenbendazole treatment, once you are certain of your chemotherapy regimen. The duration of the “rest phase” of a treatment cycle, which is the interval between chemotherapy cycles, is subject to variation contingent upon the particular chemotherapy regimen that is prescribed. This period can typically span from a few days to several weeks. It generally operates as follows:
Weekly Cycles: Chemotherapy may be administered to patients on a weekly basis, with the remaining week designated for recuperation prior to the subsequent dose.
Three-week cycles involve the administration of chemotherapy to a patient on the initial and possibly eighth day, after which the patient undergoes a period of recuperation until the subsequent cycle commences approximately two weeks later. This enables the body to recuperate and generate fresh, healthy cells.
Four-week cycles involve the administration of chemotherapy for a consecutive few days during the initial few days, followed by a recovery period of approximately three to four weeks during which no chemotherapy is administered.
Thank you for all your time and effort helping everyone. I’ve got 444mg capsules. To accurately cut the dose in half could I open the cap and mix it in 2 oz of a beverage then split it into 1 oz shots, taking 1 per day? And if so, what would be the best type of beverage?
Hello, Mark! Thank you for a question
Yes, you may divide the dose this way. You may add it to yogurt, juice, smoothies, or even water. Please bear in mind that fenbendazole does not dissolve in water. So, you may add a few drops of a fatty substance, such as olive oil.
my husband is a 1.5 year survivor of GBM frontal methalated tumor, post chemo/rad with surg. of 98% reduction.

It is ok to take fenbendazole (7 days on) and Artemisnin together?
with the milk thisle, curcumin, cbd oil, bedadine, quercetin and frankincense as well?
Hello, Dolly. Thank you for a question!
We suggest making pauses. Please visit our Dosage Guide section to calculate dosage you may need. Pauses are important for your liver to restore. Fenbendazole half life may be up to 20+ hours in a human body, so you may need pauses to make time for your liver to deal with the load. If you use fenbendazole all week straight, fenbendazole may accumulate and cause liver stress.
I ordered Fenbendazole 3 gm Pill, Panacur Brand 1st Quality. I received Boli or Bolus (used for large animals) which I wasn’t expecting. Additional ingredients are Excipients-q.s. (?) and Colour-Tartrazine. These large pills are easy to break down and are tasteless. Is this okay to use for men and women at the appropriate dosage? Thank you for answering so many questions!
Hello, Cheryl and thank you for asking.
“Excipients-q.s” stands for “quantum satis,” a Latin term meaning “as much as is needed.” In pharmaceutical formulations, it indicates that the amount of excipients (inactive ingredients) used should be adjusted to achieve the desired volume or consistency of the final product. Essentially, it implies that the quantity of excipients should be sufficient to fulfill the intended purpose of the formulation, such as providing stability, improving solubility, or aiding in the manufacturing process.
“Colour-Tartrazine” refers to the food additive Tartrazine, also known as E102 or FD&C Yellow No. 5. It is a synthetic lemon yellow dye used in various food and beverage products to impart a yellow or greenish-yellow color. Tartrazine is commonly found in items such as candies, soft drinks, snacks, cereals, and desserts. However, it’s worth noting that some individuals may be sensitive to Tartrazine, and it has been associated with allergic reactions and intolerance in some people. Therefore, products containing Tartrazine are often labeled to alert consumers who may wish to avoid it.
I don’t have cancer, I just started today for cancer prevention, do I take 1 222mg fenben 3 on 4 off for 10 weeks also add 600mg curcumin and vitamin E. Do I need to take milk thistle daily or no.
Hello, William.
Milk thistle is recommended. Milk thistle, scientifically known as Silybum marianum, contains an active compound called silymarin, responsible for its liver-protective effects. Silymarin has antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and hepatoprotective properties.
I had been taking a parp inhibitor for 6 months, but it was not working. My numbers had gone back up to CA148, so I decided to start taking the fenbendazole. I have been on it for 8 weeks. At 4 weeks my numbers were at 108, then at 8 weeks they were at 44. I have been following the protocol of 3 days on and 4 days off. I understand that I am to take up to 10 weeks. My labwork will be at 12 weeks. So I then woud be totally off for 10 weeks. I’m wanting to make sure my markers are below 35. Can I stay on week 11 and week 12 to make sure they come down before I take the 10 week break? And once my numbers are down how often in the year do I repeat the 10 weeks protocol?
Hello, Eva, thank you for a question!
Congratulations on your positive results; we sincerely hope tests will be the best possible. Furthermore, it is recommended that you continue to the protocol for an additional few weeks only if your liver exhibits favorable tolerance to fenbendazole, you do not experience any adverse effects, and your liver enzyme blood tests remain within the normal range. If all is well, then the duration of the protocol may be extended. Once your numbers are down, you can repeat the protocol every 4-6 months (2-3 times in a year)
Hi, My Mum has just been diagnosed with breast cancer, would fenbendazole be ok to use when she is on high blood pressure tablets and cholesterol tablets and she also as osteoporosis and has injection for the osteoporosis. Thank you, Naree
Hello, Fil and thank you a question.
While fenbendazole is generally considered safe and well-tolerated, interactions with other medications can occur and are not always known, so you might want to consult with a health care professional. We could not find any data about benzimidazoles interaction with corticosteroids. Chances that two drugs will create negative synergy are slim, but we can not advise you to mix it without knowing the outcomes.
Hello, Paul, thank you for a question.
It’s essential to follow the recommended dosage guidelines and avoid exceeding the maximum daily dose without consulting a healthcare professional. If you’re taking 1300 milligrams per day of Tylenol, you should be cautious and monitor for any signs of liver problems, such as abdominal pain, nausea, vomiting, jaundice, or changes in liver enzyme levels through blood tests. When combining fenbendazole and Tylenol, it is imperative that you exercise additional caution and remember to take milk thistle for the benefit of your liver. In contrast, fenbendazole does not exhibit any additional recognized adverse effects.
I am experiencing late stage four prostate cancer with mets to my liver, bones, & lymph nodes. I’ve been on the protocol for over 3 months with no apparent benefit.
Do you know of any cases, in which an increase or addition has demonstrated an improved result?
Conversely, it will also be very helpful to know if you know of those for which, for some reason or another, this protocol did not work. I have been wondering if the Lupron may be impeding progress. As you can imagine, any feedback will be greatly appreciated. Thank you for your service. Sam
Hello, Sam! Thank you for a question!
We do know cases when fenbendazole really helped in similar cases. Unfortunately, there are instances in which it failed to produce the desired results.
There may be lots of factors that can influence treatment effectiveness:
Genetic Factors: Genetic mutations and alterations in cancer cells can affect their sensitivity to fenbendazole and other treatments. Variations in drug metabolism, drug transporters, and drug targets can influence how cancer cells respond to fenbendazole therapy.
Treatment Resistance: Cancer cells can develop resistance to fenbendazole and other therapies through various mechanisms, such as mutations in drug targets, activation of alternative survival pathways, and changes in the tumor microenvironment. Over time, cancer cells may become less responsive to fenbendazole treatment, leading to treatment failure.
Individual Differences: Each person’s response to fenbendazole therapy can vary based on factors such as overall health, immune function, lifestyle factors, and concurrent medications. Additionally, the presence of comorbidities or other underlying health conditions may affect treatment outcomes.
Hello, Pam! Thank you for the question.
One gram of Panacur has 22% of fenbendazole. It means that in one packet you get 222mg of pure fenbendazole. It is not a loading dose – it is maintenance dosage with Panacur.

Greetings, Sue! Your question is greatly appreciated. Greetings!
It is recommended, according to the most reliable practices, to discontinue fenbendazole at least two days prior to your chemotherapy session and to resume it no sooner than a few days after your discharge from the hospital. Chemotherapy primarily targets rapidly proliferating cells within the body, including those associated with cancer, hair, nails, skin, and more. The administration of fenbendazole results in the inhibition of cancer proliferation and a reduction in the efficacy of subsequent chemotherapy. Although fenbendazole works well in conjunction with chemotherapy, be sure to discontinue use as directed.
Hello, Peggy, thank you for a question!
Essential thrombocythemia (ET) is not a type of cancer. It is a chronic blood disorder. While ET shares some similarities with cancers, such as abnormal cell growth and proliferation, it is classified as a myeloproliferative neoplasm (MPN) rather than a cancer. As of our most recent knowledge, there is little scientific evidence to support the use of fenbendazole for essential thrombocythemia.
HI: I’m researching Fenben for parasites (for myself). I was born with only my left kidney, so I am cautious about medications that I take. I would like to know if there has been any reported damage to human kidneys – from the research that I’ve done so far, I have not seen any. Thank you.
Hello, Kyle! Thank you for a question.
As of our knowledge, there have been no reported cases of kidney damage specifically attributed to fenbendazole use in humans.
Since you have a unique medical history with only one kidney, it’s important to exercise caution before starting any new medication, including fenbendazole. If you experience any unusual symptoms or changes in kidney function while taking fenbendazole, such as changes in urination, swelling, or discomfort in the kidney area, it’s important to seek medical attention promptly.
So my wife and i have been taking fenben as a prophylactic following the dosages the past several months. No ill effects from it at all, experiencing good health overall.
We recently found out she is 5weeks pregnant, what is your *purely educational* opinion on keeping my wife treated for parasites during pregnancy?
Hi, Oskar, thank you for your question!
If you’re thinking about keeping up with Fenbendazole while pregnant, the best step is to chat with a doctor first since there’s no clear info on its safety during pregnancy in the documents I have. Also, keeping an eye on liver health might be a good idea, and maybe even taking it a bit easier with the dosing schedule could be wise. Just to play it safe for both mom and the little one on the way.
I’ve been fighting ovarian cancer for 5 years. There is no sign of cancer in my abdomen but has now moved to spots on my liver, diaphragm and a lymph node. I started on a regimen of ivermectin along with my chemotherapy. My latest scan shows most spots have gotten smaller. I would also like to supplement with fenbendazole. Do you think I should stop the ivermectin and only do fenbendazole? Maybe alternate? or is it safe to take both together?
Dear Becky, thank you for the question! We think that fenbendazole is enough. Ivermectin is not as predictable on your organism and the dosage is unclear. You should be just fine with fenbendazole alone, given it has less side effects and it is more easy to avoid them. Stay strong and God bless!
Hello i am taking Fenbendazole for the cancer protocol and am experiencing a grey colored stool for the past 2 days. Is this sometime i should be worried about? Thank you
Dear Suzanne, thank you for your question! Fenbendazole does not change color of your feces. You should go to a medic care professionals to evaluate your health, because grey feces may indicate some other condition, but it is not related to fenbendazole.
Hello Sherry, thank you for a question. However, It’s essential to follow the recommended dosage and administration guidelines when using fenbendazole. We have not found information about fenbendazole causing bacterial infection and never had people commenting of getting infection related to fenbendazole use. Theoretically there could be some rare cases, where it may potentially disrupt the balance of bacteria in the gastrointestinal tract, leading to an overgrowth of bacteria or opportunistic infections. But such cases could happen only if a person does not use the instructions and uses fenbendazole inadequately.
Hello Stevan and thank you for this question.
Based on toxicology studies, benzimidazoles such as Fenbendazole, Mebendazole or Albendazole seem to be safe drugs.
However, a drug without any side-effects does not exist. Scientific data reports do not reveal significant adverse reactions from taking fenbendazole. Despite the fact, there are anecdotal reports of potential toxicity:
Up to 5 % of people can experience stomach discomfort or diarrhea when taking large quantities of fenbendazole with no breaks.
People with severe liver or kidney failure have lower medication excretion rates, therefore, fenbendazole can accumulate and cause unexpected side-effects. Doses should be divided accordingly in this situation.
When used in large quantities for a long period of time without breaks, fenbendazole can cause an asymptomatic liver enzyme increase due to the fact of the substance being mainly metabolized in the liver. This is reversible with the help of a couple week pause from the medication.
Hello Amy, thank you the question. While some research suggests that fenbendazole may have potential neuroprotective properties in preclinical models, its efficacy and safety for treating neurodegenerative diseases in humans have not been established.
Hey, Rob, thank you for your question.
There is no major difference because THC is not essential. It doesn’t make much difference which spectrum you use. THC only enhances appetite if the patient does not have any. CBD just helps you sleep better and relax down.
Dear Dee,
Thank you for a comment! Peacocks can be sensitive to medications, and the dosage may vary based on factors such as the weight of the bird, the type of parasites being targeted, and the severity of the infestation. Additionally, the concentration of fenbendazole in water can vary depending on the formulation of the medication.
It’s essential to consult with a veterinarian who has experience with avian medicine to determine the correct dosage and administration method for treating parasites in peacocks.
Is there a protocol to use fenbendazole for cancer prevention in dogs who have thus far been cancer free age 2 years old and 3 years old. I have lost two dogs to cancer – so would like to do anything I can to avoid it. Please advise.
Hi there, and thanks for your fantastic comment! Our protocol can be utilized for prevention purposes. You can locate it in the “Fenbendazole Information” section under “Fenbendazole Dosage Guide.” Just scroll down a bit and you’ll find the “Preventing Cancer Relapse – Prophylactic Protocol.” Also, don’t forget about our dosage calculator, which you can use based on weight. We trust this information will come in handy.
Hello,
How long does FB last …I’d love to get some now before it is somehow banned, but does it lose potency over time? How long until it expires?
Thank you!
Fenbendazole, like many medications, can degrade over time and may lose potency if not stored properly. The shelf life of fenbendazole can vary depending on factors such as the formulation (e.g., tablets, paste, suspension) and storage conditions.
In general, fenbendazole products typically have expiration dates printed on the packaging or label. It’s important to check the expiration date before using fenbendazole and to discard any expired medication.
Overall, fenbendazole is a long lasting drug and should be okay to use for years if stored properly.
To help maintain potency and stability, fenbendazole should be stored according to the manufacturer’s instructions, typically in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and moisture. Avoid exposing fenbendazole to extreme temperatures or environmental conditions that could accelerate degradation.
If you’re unsure about the potency or expiration of fenbendazole, it’s best to consult with the manufacturer or pharmacist for specific guidance.
Can this drug help with the person has symptom of Parkinson? I read most of the comments and it seemed like they all have cancers not once case has Parkinson. Please let me know. Thanks.
Hello Tanya, thank you for this interesting question.
There is limited scientific evidence to support the use of fenbendazole for treating symptoms of Parkinson’s disease.
We have the liquid Safe Guard. We would like to know the calculations for the liquid form of Safe Guard vs. the pills for humans. For both parasites and cancer. Thank you in advance.
My 15 year old cat has squamous cell carcinoma and I have treated her with the fenbenazole for 2 months with great success! Her liver enzymes are scheduled to be tested. What is the maintenance dose after all carcinoma is gone? Any other blood work necessary and how often?
Dear Joan, thank you for a question!
Dose for maintenance can be reduced by 25% and also you can make a bigger pauses in her regiment.
In addition to monitoring liver enzymes, your veterinarian may recommend regular blood work to assess your cat’s overall health and monitor for any potential side effects or changes in blood values. The frequency of blood tests may vary depending on your cat’s individual health status and response to treatment.
Hello, I have a 100lb. dog that had a mast cell tumor removed successfully. I would like to give him a maintenance dose of fenbendazole to prevent any future tumors/cancer, since I’ve read that this type of tumor reoccurs at a higher than average rate. Can you recommend the dose and frequency that he should be on?
Greetings, Jen, Your question is appreciated.
A calculator is applicable not only to humans but also to animals. Write weight after selecting “Protocol for” (Animal), “Species” (Dog). In the case of inactive cancer (remission), an additional day per week may pass without fenbendazole treatment, and the dosage may be decreased by 20-25%.
2 ?’s, first does fendbend have an expiration date? And is it 100% effective?…meaning that the majority of people that have been diagnosed with cancer survive? tricky question I know…but do your best. Thank you 🙂
Hello, Mary. Thank you for a comment.
You should definitely follow the advice of your physician. Traditional treatments, including radiation, primarily target rapidly dividing cells. Since fenbendazole inhibits the proliferation of cancer cells, radiation therapy may be less effective. Fenbendazole use may be discontinued two days prior to and two days following a radiation session. You may then proceed with your fenbendazole regimen.
Hello, Mary! Thank you for this question.
We advise pausing fenbendazole approximately two days prior to radiation therapy and resuming it a few days afterward for optimal efficacy and minimal physiological strain. Additionally, do not overlook blood tests for the purpose of monitoring liver enzymes. Test at least every four to five months.
Hello, Tyler. Thank you for a question.
Fenbendazole is efficacious and relatively safe when combined with chemotherapy.
Nevertheless, there are a few matters that require our attention. Traditional therapies such as radiation, chemotherapy, and others primarily target rapidly dividing cells. Fenbendazole inhibits the multiplication of cancer cells, which may reduce the efficacy of chemotherapy. Fenbendazole use may be discontinued two days prior to and two days following a radiation session. You may then proceed with your fenbendazole regimen.
Hello and thank you for this question.
The qualities of every benzimidazole are quite comparable. Albendazole, mebendazole, and fenbendazole are the most well-known, but fenbendazole has been the subject of more research regarding its use in cancer cases. However, considering albendazole’s properties, it ought to function as well.
Hello Mashumichelle, thank you for this interesting question!
The term “too much” is subjective, as the effectiveness of fenbendazole varies considerably between individuals. First, the half-life of fenbendazole varies between 2 and 24 hours. Furthermore, hepatic copasity in humans is highly variable, varying among factors such as genetics, age, gender, and immune system status. Therefore, you should undergo blood tests for liver enzymes at least once every three months to ensure that the levels are not excessive.
Dear friends, my 87 year old wife has been treated for 4 years with chemotherapy for ovarian cancer. Her cancer marker (CA125) has been climbing, she is fatigued and weak. Is it okay for her to take Fenbendazole alongside the chemo ? Can she benefit from doing so? I would very much appreciate your advice.
Thank you very much and merry Christmas

Hello, Jim, thank you for a question!
There is limited evidence suggesting that benzimidazoles and ivermactin, may have the potential to affect blood glucose levels, but the mechanisms and significance of this effect are not well-understood. Some studies have reported changes in glucose metabolism in animals treated with benzimidazoles, but further research is needed to clarify these findings and determine their relevance in humans.
Hello, Rosa!
Yes, you can do fenbendazole protocol for parasites and meanwhile use herbal remedies for a cleanse. Fenbendazole has only a few side effects and is considered safe. However it is hard to consult more, since we do not know what herbal remedies you are using. You should monitor liver enzyme changes via blood test and see how is is your overall health. Consult with a doctor if needed. Best regards!
Can Fenbendazole cause your liver, angles and feet to swell? could this be a side effect?
If so what should be done? Dose taken is 1 in the morning and 1 in the evening with a
fatty meal with no breaks. Been diagnosed with stage 4 liver cancer.
Hello. Liver cancer itself can lead to symptoms such as liver enlargement (hepatomegaly) and fluid accumulation in the abdomen (ascites), which may contribute to swelling in the ankles and feet. It is important to make pauses in your fenbendazole protocol, so that liver has time to restore. Meantime you should still be taking milk thistle for your liver. We would suggest to take a break for at least 4-7 days.
Dear Barb, thank you for a great question!
Vitamin E plays a crucial role in supporting immune function. Adequate vitamin E levels are necessary for the proper functioning of immune cells, including T cells and B cells, which play essential roles in the body’s defense against infections and cancer. By supporting immune function, vitamin E may help enhance the body’s natural ability to fight cancerous cells.
Also anti-inflammatory effects: Vitamin E has anti-inflammatory properties that may help reduce inflammation in the body. Chronic inflammation has been linked to the development and progression of cancer, so reducing inflammation may help create a less favorable environment for cancer growth and metastasis.
Vitamin E may enhance the anticancer effects of fenbendazole when used together.

My labwork will be at 12 weeks. So I then woud be totally off for 10 weeks. I’m wanting to make sure my markers are below 35. Can I stay on week 11 and week 12 to make sure they come down before I take the 10 week break? And once my numbers are down how often in the year do I repeat the 10 weeks protocol?
Hello, Eva, thank you for a question!
Congratulations on your positive results; we sincerely hope tests will be the best possible. Furthermore, it is recommended that you continue to the protocol for an additional few weeks only if your liver exhibits favorable tolerance to fenbendazole, you do not experience any adverse effects, and your liver enzyme blood tests remain within the normal range. If all is well, then the duration of the protocol may be extended. Once your numbers are down, you can repeat the protocol every 4-6 months (2-3 times in a year)
Hi, My Mum has just been diagnosed with breast cancer, would fenbendazole be ok to use when she is on high blood pressure tablets and cholesterol tablets and she also as osteoporosis and has injection for the osteoporosis. Thank you, Naree
Can i take Mebendazole while I’m on Pabi-Dexamethason (Glucocorticoid)?
I want to start with mebendazole but I’m still taking these pills that I got from my doctor
Hello, Fil and thank you a question.
While fenbendazole is generally considered safe and well-tolerated, interactions with other medications can occur and are not always known, so you might want to consult with a health care professional. We could not find any data about benzimidazoles interaction with corticosteroids. Chances that two drugs will create negative synergy are slim, but we can not advise you to mix it without knowing the outcomes.
Has anyone taken fenben while also taking 1300mg a day of Tylenol. I must take this daily for paine.
Hello, Paul, thank you for a question.
It’s essential to follow the recommended dosage guidelines and avoid exceeding the maximum daily dose without consulting a healthcare professional. If you’re taking 1300 milligrams per day of Tylenol, you should be cautious and monitor for any signs of liver problems, such as abdominal pain, nausea, vomiting, jaundice, or changes in liver enzyme levels through blood tests. When combining fenbendazole and Tylenol, it is imperative that you exercise additional caution and remember to take milk thistle for the benefit of your liver. In contrast, fenbendazole does not exhibit any additional recognized adverse effects.
I am experiencing late stage four prostate cancer with mets to my liver, bones, & lymph nodes. I’ve been on the protocol for over 3 months with no apparent benefit.
Do you know of any cases, in which an increase or addition has demonstrated an improved result?
Conversely, it will also be very helpful to know if you know of those for which, for some reason or another, this protocol did not work. I have been wondering if the Lupron may be impeding progress. As you can imagine, any feedback will be greatly appreciated. Thank you for your service. Sam
Hello, Sam! Thank you for a question!
We do know cases when fenbendazole really helped in similar cases. Unfortunately, there are instances in which it failed to produce the desired results.
There may be lots of factors that can influence treatment effectiveness:
Genetic Factors: Genetic mutations and alterations in cancer cells can affect their sensitivity to fenbendazole and other treatments. Variations in drug metabolism, drug transporters, and drug targets can influence how cancer cells respond to fenbendazole therapy.
Treatment Resistance: Cancer cells can develop resistance to fenbendazole and other therapies through various mechanisms, such as mutations in drug targets, activation of alternative survival pathways, and changes in the tumor microenvironment. Over time, cancer cells may become less responsive to fenbendazole treatment, leading to treatment failure.
Individual Differences: Each person’s response to fenbendazole therapy can vary based on factors such as overall health, immune function, lifestyle factors, and concurrent medications. Additionally, the presence of comorbidities or other underlying health conditions may affect treatment outcomes.
Some people seem to use a 1g packet of fenben Panacur.. Which is 4 Xs the 222mg. Is that the loading dose or that in correct.
Hello, Pam! Thank you for the question.
One gram of Panacur has 22% of fenbendazole. It means that in one packet you get 222mg of pure fenbendazole. It is not a loading dose – it is maintenance dosage with Panacur.
Hi there!
What dosage would you take if it is in liquid for (100g per litre) for parasite treatment please?

Can fenbendazole be taken while receiving chemotherapy? Thank you
Greetings, Sue! Your question is greatly appreciated. Greetings!
It is recommended, according to the most reliable practices, to discontinue fenbendazole at least two days prior to your chemotherapy session and to resume it no sooner than a few days after your discharge from the hospital. Chemotherapy primarily targets rapidly proliferating cells within the body, including those associated with cancer, hair, nails, skin, and more. The administration of fenbendazole results in the inhibition of cancer proliferation and a reduction in the efficacy of subsequent chemotherapy. Although fenbendazole works well in conjunction with chemotherapy, be sure to discontinue use as directed.
Has this ever been used for Essential Thromblcythemia?
Hello, Peggy, thank you for a question!
Essential thrombocythemia (ET) is not a type of cancer. It is a chronic blood disorder. While ET shares some similarities with cancers, such as abnormal cell growth and proliferation, it is classified as a myeloproliferative neoplasm (MPN) rather than a cancer. As of our most recent knowledge, there is little scientific evidence to support the use of fenbendazole for essential thrombocythemia.
HI: I’m researching Fenben for parasites (for myself). I was born with only my left kidney, so I am cautious about medications that I take. I would like to know if there has been any reported damage to human kidneys – from the research that I’ve done so far, I have not seen any. Thank you.
Hello, Kyle! Thank you for a question.
As of our knowledge, there have been no reported cases of kidney damage specifically attributed to fenbendazole use in humans.
Since you have a unique medical history with only one kidney, it’s important to exercise caution before starting any new medication, including fenbendazole. If you experience any unusual symptoms or changes in kidney function while taking fenbendazole, such as changes in urination, swelling, or discomfort in the kidney area, it’s important to seek medical attention promptly.
Hi there, appreciate all the work you do.
So my wife and i have been taking fenben as a prophylactic following the dosages the past several months. No ill effects from it at all, experiencing good health overall.
We recently found out she is 5weeks pregnant, what is your *purely educational* opinion on keeping my wife treated for parasites during pregnancy?
Thanks
Hi, Oskar, thank you for your question!
If you’re thinking about keeping up with Fenbendazole while pregnant, the best step is to chat with a doctor first since there’s no clear info on its safety during pregnancy in the documents I have. Also, keeping an eye on liver health might be a good idea, and maybe even taking it a bit easier with the dosing schedule could be wise. Just to play it safe for both mom and the little one on the way.
I’ve been fighting ovarian cancer for 5 years. There is no sign of cancer in my abdomen but has now moved to spots on my liver, diaphragm and a lymph node. I started on a regimen of ivermectin along with my chemotherapy. My latest scan shows most spots have gotten smaller. I would also like to supplement with fenbendazole. Do you think I should stop the ivermectin and only do fenbendazole? Maybe alternate? or is it safe to take both together?
Dear Becky, thank you for the question! We think that fenbendazole is enough. Ivermectin is not as predictable on your organism and the dosage is unclear. You should be just fine with fenbendazole alone, given it has less side effects and it is more easy to avoid them. Stay strong and God bless!
Hello i am taking Fenbendazole for the cancer protocol and am experiencing a grey colored stool for the past 2 days. Is this sometime i should be worried about? Thank you
Dear Suzanne, thank you for your question! Fenbendazole does not change color of your feces. You should go to a medic care professionals to evaluate your health, because grey feces may indicate some other condition, but it is not related to fenbendazole.
My husband has read that Fenben can cause bacterial infections. Is there research somewhere where I can read about this?
Hello Sherry, thank you for a question. However, It’s essential to follow the recommended dosage and administration guidelines when using fenbendazole. We have not found information about fenbendazole causing bacterial infection and never had people commenting of getting infection related to fenbendazole use. Theoretically there could be some rare cases, where it may potentially disrupt the balance of bacteria in the gastrointestinal tract, leading to an overgrowth of bacteria or opportunistic infections. But such cases could happen only if a person does not use the instructions and uses fenbendazole inadequately.
How safe is the usage of Fenbendazole designated for animals, in humans? Thanks
Hello Stevan and thank you for this question.
Based on toxicology studies, benzimidazoles such as Fenbendazole, Mebendazole or Albendazole seem to be safe drugs.
However, a drug without any side-effects does not exist. Scientific data reports do not reveal significant adverse reactions from taking fenbendazole. Despite the fact, there are anecdotal reports of potential toxicity:
Up to 5 % of people can experience stomach discomfort or diarrhea when taking large quantities of fenbendazole with no breaks.
People with severe liver or kidney failure have lower medication excretion rates, therefore, fenbendazole can accumulate and cause unexpected side-effects. Doses should be divided accordingly in this situation.
When used in large quantities for a long period of time without breaks, fenbendazole can cause an asymptomatic liver enzyme increase due to the fact of the substance being mainly metabolized in the liver. This is reversible with the help of a couple week pause from the medication.
Has anyone bought the Sodium Dichloroacetate talked about here on the web? I’ve been thinking of adding it to my FenBen treatment. Thanks!
Can fenbendazole help with Posterior Cortical Atrophy (PCA) or any type of Alzheimer’s or dementia?
Hello Amy, thank you the question. While some research suggests that fenbendazole may have potential neuroprotective properties in preclinical models, its efficacy and safety for treating neurodegenerative diseases in humans have not been established.
Has there been success with Fenbendazole and stage 4 HS Ovarian cancer?
What type of CBD oil is recommended: full spectrum, broad spectrum, or isolate?
Hey, Rob, thank you for your question.
There is no major difference because THC is not essential. It doesn’t make much difference which spectrum you use. THC only enhances appetite if the patient does not have any. CBD just helps you sleep better and relax down.
I want to purchase fenben for my 35 plus lb beagle who has mammary tumors. I have no clue what to buy, how much to give.. thanks for your help
Dear Becky, thank you the question!
You may use our fenbendazole dosage calculator https://www.fenbendazole.org/fenbendazole-information/fenbendazole-dosage-guide/ to know how much would you need. Also we have a section https://www.fenbendazole.org/suppliers/ for you get familiar with top rated suppliers.
For peacocks, how much should we add to a gallon of water?
Dear Dee,
Thank you for a comment! Peacocks can be sensitive to medications, and the dosage may vary based on factors such as the weight of the bird, the type of parasites being targeted, and the severity of the infestation. Additionally, the concentration of fenbendazole in water can vary depending on the formulation of the medication.
It’s essential to consult with a veterinarian who has experience with avian medicine to determine the correct dosage and administration method for treating parasites in peacocks.
Is there a protocol to use fenbendazole for cancer prevention in dogs who have thus far been cancer free age 2 years old and 3 years old. I have lost two dogs to cancer – so would like to do anything I can to avoid it. Please advise.
Kindest regards,
Carrie Venclauskas
Dear Carrie,
Hi there, and thanks for your fantastic comment! Our protocol can be utilized for prevention purposes. You can locate it in the “Fenbendazole Information” section under “Fenbendazole Dosage Guide.” Just scroll down a bit and you’ll find the “Preventing Cancer Relapse – Prophylactic Protocol.” Also, don’t forget about our dosage calculator, which you can use based on weight. We trust this information will come in handy.
Warm regards
Hello,
How long does FB last …I’d love to get some now before it is somehow banned, but does it lose potency over time? How long until it expires?
Thank you!
Hey Caroline, thank you for a question!
Fenbendazole, like many medications, can degrade over time and may lose potency if not stored properly. The shelf life of fenbendazole can vary depending on factors such as the formulation (e.g., tablets, paste, suspension) and storage conditions.
In general, fenbendazole products typically have expiration dates printed on the packaging or label. It’s important to check the expiration date before using fenbendazole and to discard any expired medication.
Overall, fenbendazole is a long lasting drug and should be okay to use for years if stored properly.
To help maintain potency and stability, fenbendazole should be stored according to the manufacturer’s instructions, typically in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and moisture. Avoid exposing fenbendazole to extreme temperatures or environmental conditions that could accelerate degradation.
If you’re unsure about the potency or expiration of fenbendazole, it’s best to consult with the manufacturer or pharmacist for specific guidance.
Does it have a flavour? I opened a capsule. and tasted zero flavor
Hello, Shelly!
In general, fenbendazole is not known to have a strong or distinctive taste.
Can this drug help with the person has symptom of Parkinson? I read most of the comments and it seemed like they all have cancers not once case has Parkinson. Please let me know. Thanks.
Hello Tanya, thank you for this interesting question.
There is limited scientific evidence to support the use of fenbendazole for treating symptoms of Parkinson’s disease.
We have the liquid Safe Guard. We would like to know the calculations for the liquid form of Safe Guard vs. the pills for humans. For both parasites and cancer. Thank you in advance.
My 15 year old cat has squamous cell carcinoma and I have treated her with the fenbenazole for 2 months with great success! Her liver enzymes are scheduled to be tested. What is the maintenance dose after all carcinoma is gone? Any other blood work necessary and how often?
Dear Joan, thank you for a question!
Dose for maintenance can be reduced by 25% and also you can make a bigger pauses in her regiment.
In addition to monitoring liver enzymes, your veterinarian may recommend regular blood work to assess your cat’s overall health and monitor for any potential side effects or changes in blood values. The frequency of blood tests may vary depending on your cat’s individual health status and response to treatment.
Hello, I have a 100lb. dog that had a mast cell tumor removed successfully. I would like to give him a maintenance dose of fenbendazole to prevent any future tumors/cancer, since I’ve read that this type of tumor reoccurs at a higher than average rate. Can you recommend the dose and frequency that he should be on?
Greetings, Jen, Your question is appreciated.
A calculator is applicable not only to humans but also to animals. Write weight after selecting “Protocol for” (Animal), “Species” (Dog). In the case of inactive cancer (remission), an additional day per week may pass without fenbendazole treatment, and the dosage may be decreased by 20-25%.
I have just bought a 500mg pack of Fenbendazole 45 tabs to a pack. How many should I take a day?
2 ?’s, first does fendbend have an expiration date? And is it 100% effective?…meaning that the majority of people that have been diagnosed with cancer survive? tricky question I know…but do your best. Thank you 🙂
The radiation Oncologist said my husband should not take supplements while receiving radiation.
Hello, Mary. Thank you for a comment.
You should definitely follow the advice of your physician. Traditional treatments, including radiation, primarily target rapidly dividing cells. Since fenbendazole inhibits the proliferation of cancer cells, radiation therapy may be less effective. Fenbendazole use may be discontinued two days prior to and two days following a radiation session. You may then proceed with your fenbendazole regimen.
Can my husband use Fenbendazole while receiving radiation for pancreatic Ca?
Hello, Mary! Thank you for this question.
We advise pausing fenbendazole approximately two days prior to radiation therapy and resuming it a few days afterward for optimal efficacy and minimal physiological strain. Additionally, do not overlook blood tests for the purpose of monitoring liver enzymes. Test at least every four to five months.
Any experiences this working for Multiple Myeloma? And is there a list of chemos this is not safe with?
Hello, Tyler. Thank you for a question.
Fenbendazole is efficacious and relatively safe when combined with chemotherapy.
Nevertheless, there are a few matters that require our attention. Traditional therapies such as radiation, chemotherapy, and others primarily target rapidly dividing cells. Fenbendazole inhibits the multiplication of cancer cells, which may reduce the efficacy of chemotherapy. Fenbendazole use may be discontinued two days prior to and two days following a radiation session. You may then proceed with your fenbendazole regimen.
Hello,
Is there a difference between Fenbendazole and Albendazole? Can Albendazole be used in place of Fenbendazole?
Thank you!
TW
Hello and thank you for this question.
The qualities of every benzimidazole are quite comparable. Albendazole, mebendazole, and fenbendazole are the most well-known, but fenbendazole has been the subject of more research regarding its use in cancer cases. However, considering albendazole’s properties, it ought to function as well.
How much is too much?
Hello Mashumichelle, thank you for this interesting question!
The term “too much” is subjective, as the effectiveness of fenbendazole varies considerably between individuals. First, the half-life of fenbendazole varies between 2 and 24 hours. Furthermore, hepatic copasity in humans is highly variable, varying among factors such as genetics, age, gender, and immune system status. Therefore, you should undergo blood tests for liver enzymes at least once every three months to ensure that the levels are not excessive.
Dear friends, my 87 year old wife has been treated for 4 years with chemotherapy for ovarian cancer. Her cancer marker (CA125) has been climbing, she is fatigued and weak. Is it okay for her to take Fenbendazole alongside the chemo ? Can she benefit from doing so? I would very much appreciate your advice.
Thank you very much and merry Christmas

Will Fenbendazole with ivermectin normalize glucose levels? If so what dosage & frequency
Hello, Jim, thank you for a question!
There is limited evidence suggesting that benzimidazoles and ivermactin, may have the potential to affect blood glucose levels, but the mechanisms and significance of this effect are not well-understood. Some studies have reported changes in glucose metabolism in animals treated with benzimidazoles, but further research is needed to clarify these findings and determine their relevance in humans.
Can I take fenbendazole and begin a herbal parasite cleanse?
Hello, Rosa!
Yes, you can do fenbendazole protocol for parasites and meanwhile use herbal remedies for a cleanse. Fenbendazole has only a few side effects and is considered safe. However it is hard to consult more, since we do not know what herbal remedies you are using. You should monitor liver enzyme changes via blood test and see how is is your overall health. Consult with a doctor if needed. Best regards!
Can Fenbendazole cause your liver, angles and feet to swell? could this be a side effect?
If so what should be done? Dose taken is 1 in the morning and 1 in the evening with a
fatty meal with no breaks. Been diagnosed with stage 4 liver cancer.
Hello. Liver cancer itself can lead to symptoms such as liver enlargement (hepatomegaly) and fluid accumulation in the abdomen (ascites), which may contribute to swelling in the ankles and feet. It is important to make pauses in your fenbendazole protocol, so that liver has time to restore. Meantime you should still be taking milk thistle for your liver. We would suggest to take a break for at least 4-7 days.
Why the vit E?
Dear Barb, thank you for a great question!
Vitamin E plays a crucial role in supporting immune function. Adequate vitamin E levels are necessary for the proper functioning of immune cells, including T cells and B cells, which play essential roles in the body’s defense against infections and cancer. By supporting immune function, vitamin E may help enhance the body’s natural ability to fight cancerous cells.
Also anti-inflammatory effects: Vitamin E has anti-inflammatory properties that may help reduce inflammation in the body. Chronic inflammation has been linked to the development and progression of cancer, so reducing inflammation may help create a less favorable environment for cancer growth and metastasis.
Vitamin E may enhance the anticancer effects of fenbendazole when used together.
