Dosage:
-
Foals & Weanlings (under 18 months):
Since ascarids are common at this age, use 4.6 mg per lb (10 mg/kg) of body weight. One syringe will treat a 550 lb horse. -
Adult Horses (large strongyles, small strongyles, pinworms):
Use 2.3 mg per lb (5 mg/kg) of body weight. -
For encysted larvae and Strongylus vulgaris (advanced treatment):
Use 4.6 mg per lb (10 mg/kg) of body weight daily for 5 consecutive days.
One syringe per 550 lb body weight per day.
Important: Always dose according to the horse’s current weight. Do not underdose, as this may reduce effectiveness and encourage parasite resistance.
Directions for Use:
