Increased
dosing for specific infections:
Five day course
For the
treatment and control of migrating and tissue larval stages of
large strongyles, encysted mucosal 3rd and 4th stage small
strongyle larvae and encysted inhibited 3rd stage small
strongyle larvae in the mucosa, administer 1 syringe per 600kg
bodyweight daily for 5 days (=7.5mg fenbendazole/kg bodyweight
daily for 5 days).
Single dose treatments
For the
treatment and control of encysted mucosal stages of small
strongyles administer 1 syringe per 150kg bodyweight (=30 mg
fenbendazole/kg bodyweight).
For the
treatment and control of migrating larval and tissue stages of
large strongyles administer 1 syringe per 75kg bodyweight
(=60 mg fenbendazole/kg bodyweight).
For the
treatment and control of Strongyloides westeri
in suckling foals administer 1 syringe per 90kg bodyweight
(=50 mg fenbendazole/kg bodyweight).
Panacur Equine
Paste should be administered orally by squeezing the paste from
the syringe onto the back of the horse's tongue.
Assess
bodyweight as accurately as possible before calculating the
dosage. The use of a `weigh-band' is recommended.
Pregnant mares
and young foals can be safely treated with Panacur Equine Paste
(fenbendazole) at recommended dosage levels.
Recommended dosing programmes:
All horses
should be routinely treated with the single dose of Panacur
Equine Paste every 6–8 weeks.
Treatment of
encysted inhibited and encysted mucosal dwelling larvae should
ideally be performed in the autumn (ideally late
October/November) and again in the spring (ideally in February).
However, for horses that fail to maintain condition or bought-in
horses with unknown worming history, the treatment should be
given at any time of year.
