BioAv↓, Due to its poor absorption by oral administration, fenbendazole is particularly effective for targeting intestinal parasites
eff↑, Tippens began self-administering 222 mg fenbendazole orally, along with vitamin E supplements, CBD oil, and bioavailable curcumin. After three months of self-administration, a PET scan revealed no detectable cancer cells in his body.
toxicity↓, In rodents, its lethal dose (LD50) exceeded 10 g/kg, which is 1,000 times the therapeutic level
BioAv↑, vehicles for increasing the bioavailability of oral fenbendazole, it would be worthwhile to focus on dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO), Salicylic acid, and methyl-β-cyclodextrin.
BioAv↑, Another method to improve the solubility of fenbendazole would be to complex it with methyl-β-cyclodextrin at a 1:1 ratio.
hepatoP↓, In both cases, despite the hepatotoxicity, patients’ liver function recovered rapidly upon discontinuing fenbendazole.
eff↑, combining fenbendazole with glycolysis inhibitors and hepatoprotective pharmaceutical or nutraceutical agents can lead to synergic therapeutic activity while reducing potential liver toxicity.
