Ricobendazole, also known as albendazole S-oxide, is a broad-spectrum benzimidazole anthelmintic. Its main use is for protecting livestock against nematode parasites.[1] Ricobendazole is the active sulfoxide metabolite of albendazole.[2]

Like mebendazole, ricobendazole inhibits tubulin polymerization.
