Tribendimidine is a broad-spectrum anthelmintic agent developed in China, at the National Institute of Parasitic Diseases in Shanghai. It is a derivative of amidantel.^[1]

In clinical trials, it was highly effective in treating ankylostomiasis, ascariasis and enterobiasis.^[2] However, animal studies suggest it is ineffective in treating Schistosoma mansoni or Fasciola hepatica disease.^[1]

Tribendimidine is associated with Shandong Xinhua Pharmaceutical Company Limited in Zibo, Shandong, China.
