Used primarily in the treatment of parasitic infections, particularly those caused by nematodes in both humans and animals. It works by disrupting the energy metabolism of the parasites, leading to their immobilization and eventual death. In veterinary medicine, it is commonly administered to livestock to control intestinal worms, improving overall health and productivity. In human medicine, it is prescribed for conditions like strongyloidiasis and hookworm infections, often in combination with other antiparasitic agents. Its efficacy and relatively low toxicity make it a preferred choice in both fields.
