For administration to horses, mix the product with grain or concentrate feed and give the full dosage as one administration.
Treatment should be repeated when natural reinfestation of animals with parasitic worms occurs.
Horses - Increased dosing for specific infestations
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 5 ml per 64 kg bodyweight daily for 5 days (= 7.5 mg fenbendazole/kg bodyweight daily for 5 days).
Single dose treatments
For the treatment and control of encysted mucosal stages of small strongyles administer 3 ml Panacur 10% Oral Suspension per 10 kg bodyweight (= 30 mg fenbendazole/kg bodyweight).
For the treatment and control of migrating larval and tissue stages of large strongyles administer 6 ml Panacur 10% Oral Suspension per 10 kg bodyweight (= 60 mg fenbendazole/kg bodyweight).
For the treatment of diarrhoea caused by Strongyloides westeri in two to three week old sucking foals administer 5 ml Panacur 10% Oral Suspension per 10 kg bodyweight (= 50 mg fenbendazole/kg bodyweight).
Assess bodyweight as accurately as possible before calculating the dosage. The use of a `weigh-band' is recommended.
Recommended dosing programme
All horses should be routinely wormed with the single dose regimen every 6-8 weeks.
Treatment of encysted inhibited and encysted mucosal dwelling larvae should 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 can be given at any time of the year.
