Bithionol
An antiparasitic drug historically used to treat infestations with certain flukes, particularly the liver fluke Fasciola hepatica, and tapeworm infections. It works by disrupting the parasite's metabolism. Due to its side effect profile and the availability of better alternatives, it is rarely used today.
