Examples include albendazole, diethylcarbamazine, mebendazole , nicolsamide (against tapeworms), ivermectin, suramin and thiabendazole .
Many members of the piperazine family are successful anthelmintics.
Natural anthelmintics include black walnut, wormwood (Artemisia absynthium) and clove (Syzygium aromaticum).
