The fenbendazole purge, also called the Panacur purge, Panacur PowerPac, and Safe-Guard Power-Dose, is a multi-day deworming treatment that targets specific life stages of the small strongyle, an internal parasite that infects horses. Fenbendazole is a member of the benzimidazole class of deworming drugs, and is the generic name of the active ingredient in Panacur and SafeGuard dewormers.
