Detailed Product Description

Composition:
Each ml. Contains 50 mg of pyrantel base as pyrantel pamoate.

Indications:
For the removal and control of mature infections of large strongyles (Strongylus vulgaris, S. edentatus, S. equinus); pinworms (Oxyuris equi); large roundworms (Parascaris equorum); and small strongyles in horses and ponies.

Dosage And Administration:
Administer 3 mg pyrantel base per lb of body weight (6 mL PYRANTONG per 100 lb of body weight).
For maximum control of parasitism, it is recommended that foals (2-8 months of age) be dosed every 4 weeks. To minimize potential hazard that the mare may pose to the foal, she should be treated 1 month prior to anticipated foaling date followed by retreatment 10 days to 2 weeks after birth of foal. Horses over 8 months of age should be routinely dosed every 6 weeks.

Directions For Use:
PYRANTONG may be administered by means of a stomach tube, dose syringe or by mixing into the feed.

Stomach Tube:
Measure the appropriate dosage of PYRANTONG and mix in the desired quantity of water. Protect drench from direct sunlight and administer to the animal immediately following mixing.
Do not attempt to store diluted suspension.
PYRANTONG is inactive against the common horse bot (Gasterophilus sp.). However, PYRANTONG may be administered concurrently with carbon disulfide observing the usual precautions with carbon disulfide.

Dose Syringe:
Draw the appropriate dosage of PYRANTONG into a dose syringe and administer to the animal.
Do not expose PYRANTONG to direct sunlight.

Feed:
Mix the appropriate dosage of PYRANTONG in the normal grain ration.
Fasting of animals prior to or following treatment is not required.

Efficacy:
Critical (worm-count) studies in horses demonstrated that PYRANTONG administered at the
recommended dosage was efficacious against mature infections of Strongylus vulgaris (>90%), S. edentatus (69%), S. equinus (>90%), Oxyuris equi (81%), Parascaris equorum (>90%), and small strongyles (>90%).

Warnings:
Not for horses or ponies intended for food.
