Strongid (pyrantel pamoate) Horse Dewormer Paste

Strongid Horse Dewormer Paste

Contains the active ingredient Pyrantel Pamoate. Can be used on horses, ponies, mares and foals. This is a great horse wormer as it has shown to be effective against benzimidazole-resistant strongyles. The easy, disposible syringe is a convenient part of your deworming rotation.

Strongid Paste is used to aid in the control of:

• large strongyles (bloodworms)
• small strongyles
• pinworms
• ascarids (roundworms)
  

Each oral syringe treats up to 1,200 lb body weight. Horses and ponies (over 8 months) should be treated every 6 weeks. Mares should be treated 1 month before foaling. Foal dose (2-8 months of age) every 4 weeks.

Dosage:

Strongid Paste is to be administered as a single oral dose of 3 mg pyrantel base per lb of body weight. The syringe has 4 weight mark incements. Each weight mark indicates the recommended dose for 300 lb of body weight.

Body Weight Range	Volume	mg Pyrantel Base
Up to 300 lb	1/4 syringe (5 mL)	900  mg
301-600 lb	1/2 syringe (10 mL)	1800 mg
601-900 lb	3/4 syringe (15 mL)	2700 mg
901-1200 lb	1 full syringe (20 mL)	3600 mg

Do not underdose. Ensure each animal receives a complete dose based on current body weight. Underdosing may result in ineffective treatment, and encourage the development of parasite resistance.

Administration:

After removing the cap, the paste should be deposited on the dorsum of the tongue. Introduce the nozzle end of the syringe at the corner of the mouth. Direct the syringe backwards and depress the plunger to deposit the paste onto the tongue. Given in this manner, it is unlikely that rejection of the paste will occur. Raising the horse's head sometimes assists in the swallowing process. When only part of the paste has been used, replace the cap on the syringe nozzle.

Storage:

Store at controlled room temperature of 15°-25° C or 59°-77° F.
