Is Fenbendazole 500 mg Used for Cancer Treatment? - daisymiller - 09-03-2025
Fenbendazole 500mg is a veterinary dewormer typically used to treat parasitic infections in animals, especially dogs. It is not approved by the FDA or any major health authority for use in humans, nor is it officially recognized as a treatment for cancer. However, interest in its potential anti-cancer properties has grown in recent years due to anecdotal reports and limited preclinical studies.
Some laboratory and animal studies have suggested that fenbendazole may interfere with cancer cell growth by disrupting microtubules (structures necessary for cell division) and affecting glucose metabolism—mechanisms that could theoretically hinder tumor growth. These findings sparked interest in the cancer community, especially after stories like that of Joe Tippens, who claimed fenbendazole helped him recover from terminal cancer. However, these accounts are anecdotal and lack controlled clinical validation.
