Fenbendazole is primarily used as a veterinary medication to treat parasitic infections in animals, and there is limited research on its effects on human pregnancy. In general, the safety of fenbendazole for pregnant women has not been established.

For animals, studies in pregnant animals (like rats, rabbits, and sheep) have generally shown that fenbendazole does not cause harmful effects when used at recommended doses. However, animal studies do not always predict human response, and the safety of fenbendazole in pregnant women remains unclear.
