The prescribed amount of the product is deposited on the tongue of the
animal and the animal allowed to swallow. The complete content of one
syringe contains 11.4g pyrantel embonate (6 graduated doses of 1.9g) in
28.5g paste and is sufficient for the treatment of 600kg bodyweight. Each
graduation of the syringe is sufficient for the treatment of 100kg body-weight.
Control and treatment of Anoplocephala (Tapeworm):
The product should be used at a dose rate of 38mg pyrantel embonate per kg
bodyweight (i.e. twice the dose used for stronglyes).
To ensure administration of a correct dose, body weight should be determined
as accurately as possible; accuracy of the dosing device should be checked.
Inappropriate use of anthelmintics may increase resistance selection pressure
and lead to reduced efficacy. The decision to use the product should be
based on professional advice and take into account current best practice
recommendations for parasite control.
Do not use in severely debilitated animals.
Do not use in cases of hypersensitivity to the active substance or to any of the
excipients.
sucklings, pregnant mares and studs.
Impaction of the small intestine may occur very rarely, in foals infected with
high numbers of Parascaris equorum. Symptoms (colic) may be seen as
soon as 30 minutes after treatment.
The frequency of adverse reactions is defined using the following convention:
- very common (more than 1 in 10 animals treated displaying adverse
reaction(s))
- common (more than 1 but less than 10 animals in 100 animals treated)
- uncommon (more than 1 but less than 10 animals in 1,000 animals
treated)
- rare (more than 1 but less than 10 animals in 10,000 animals treated)
- very rare (less than 1 animal in 10,000 animals treated, including
isolated reports).
the risk of development of resistance and could ultimately result in ineffective
therapy:
•
over an extended period of time.
•
misadministration of the product, or lack of calibration of the dosing
device (if any).
Suspected clinical cases of resistance to anthelmintics should be further
investigated using appropriate tests (e.g. Faecal Egg Count Reduction Test).
Where the results of the test(s) strongly suggest resistance to a particular
anthelmintic, an anthelmintic belonging to another pharmacological class and
having a different mode of action should be used.
Resistance to pyrantel has been reported in cyathostomes in horses (also
widespread in the USA and Canada). Therefore the use of this product should
be based on local (regional, farm) epidemiological information about
susceptibility of nematodes and recommendations on how to limit further
selection for resistance to anthelmintics.
Special precautions for use in animals
The same syringe should only be used to dose two animals if they are both
healthy and are either running together, or are on the same premises and in
direct contact with each other.
