As an anthelmintic, it is used against Taenia saginata, Hymenolepis nana, and other tapeworms, like Hymenolepis diminuta and Dipylidium caninum. It is also effective against intestinal fluke infections, such as Fasciolopsis buski and Heterophyes heterophyes.

For the preparation, the weight ratio of the raw materials for the first reaction, such as o-chloro-p-nitroaniline to xylene to thionyl chloride is (14-15.5%): (14-15.5%): (59.5%): (11%), ethanol is used in the next reaction, and ethanol is equivalent to the weight of xylene used in the first step. There are a number of advantages to the production method, such as simplicity, high efficiency, low cost, no pollution, and high yield; in comparison to a conventional method, the production method has the benefit of reduced reaction temperatures; the reduction in reaction temperatures leads to both energy savings and less difficulty in producing the reactor; the method also results in a higher yield of the product niclosamide, with a purity of 95.0% and it is mainly used for the production of niclosamide.
