It belongs to the tetrahydropyrimidines class of drugs, which are known by farmers as yellow drenches. The product code in the UK is '''2-LM'''.
* This works in a similar fashion to levamisole but isn't absorbed by the alimentary tract.
* It has limited activity against larval forms and so has little uses.
* Morantel is used in some rumenal boluses.
* Pyrantel, a similar product, is used against equine [[cestodes]].
