Panacur 187.5 mg/g Oral Paste for Dogs and Cats

The veterinary medicinal product should be administered orally by squeezing the paste
from the syringe onto the back of the tongue after feeding.
Each injector contains 4.8 g paste, equivalent to 900 mg fenbendazole. To prepare the
syringe for the first use, remove the syringe tip and turn the dial ring until the edge of the
ring nearest the tip lines up with the zero (0) on the tube. Depress the plunger and
discard any expelled paste. To protect householders, discard any unused paste into
tissue and immediately dispose of via the household waste.
The syringe is ready for use. The plunger has 18 graduations, each unit corresponding
to 50 mg fenbendazole. Determine the number of graduations needed based on the
bodyweight of the animal. Turn the ring on the plunger to the corresponding graduation.
Adult Cats and Dogs
Orally administer 2 syringe graduations per 1 kg bodyweight as a single dose (= 100 mg
fenbendazole/kg bodyweight). Each syringe is sufficient to dose up to 9 kg bodyweight
as a single dose.
Practical dosage recommendations:
Up to 1kg 2 syringe graduations
1.1 to 2 kg 4 syringe graduations
2.1 to 3 kg 6 syringe graduations
3.1 to 4 kg 8 syringe graduations
4.1 to 5 kg 10 syringe graduations
5.1 to 6 kg 12 syringe graduations
6.1 to 7 kg 14 syringe graduations
7.1 to 8 kg 16 syringe graduations
8.1 to 9 kg 18 syringe graduations
Additional syringes are required for dogs and cats weighing over 9 kg. For dogs and
cats weighing over 9 kg, two extra syringe graduations are required for each additional 1
kg bodyweight as a single dose.
Treatment should be repeated when natural reinfection with parasitic worms occurs.
Routine treatment of adult animals with minimal exposure to infection is advisable 2 to 4
times per year. More frequent treatment at 6 to 8 weekly intervals is advisable for dogs
in kennels and cats in catteries or a breeder’s premises.
Puppies and kittens under 6 months of age
Only treat puppies and kittens weighing greater than 1 kg with this product.
Orally administer the recommended dosages as described below, daily for 3
consecutive days.
Each syringe is sufficient to dose up to 6 kg bodyweight for 3 consecutive days.
Practical dosage recommendations:
1.0 to 2 kg 2 syringe graduations daily for 3 days
2.1 to 3 kg 3 syringe graduations daily for 3 days
3.1 to 4 kg 4 syringe graduations daily for 3 days
4.1 to 5 kg 5 syringe graduations daily for 3 days
5.1 to 6 kg 6 syringe graduations daily for 3 days
Additional syringes are required if puppies weigh over 6 kg under 6 months old.
For puppies weighing over 6 kg, an extra syringe graduation is required daily for each
additional 1 kg bodyweight.
Puppies and kittens should be treated at 2 weeks of age, 5 weeks of age and again
before leaving the breeder’s premises. Treatment may also be required at 8 and 12
weeks of age. Thereafter, frequency of treatment can be reduced unless the puppies
and kittens remain in kennels or kittens remain in catteries /breeder’s premises where
reinfection occurs more readily.
Pregnant dogs
Owing to the reduced dose rate for treatment of pregnant dogs (25 mg fenbendazole/kg
bodyweight daily) which cannot accurately be attained when using the syringe, it is
recommended that alternative formulations of fenbendazole be used.
Pregnant cats
Pregnant cats can be safely treated with the product but only require a single treatment
at the routine adult dose rate. Orally administer 2 syringe graduations per 1 kg
bodyweight as a single dose (= 100 mg fenbendazole/kg bodyweight). Each syringe is
sufficient to dose up to 9 kg bodyweight as a single dose.
Increased dosing for specific infections:
For the treatment of clinical worm infestations in adult dogs and cats or Giardia spp.
infections in dogs and puppies, orally administer 1 syringe graduation per 1 kg
bodyweight daily for 3 consecutive days (= 50 mg fenbendazole/kg bodyweight daily for
3 days).
For the control of lungworm Oslerus (Filaroides) osleri
graduation per 1 kg bodyweight for 7 consecutive days (= 50 mg fenbendazole/kg
bodyweight daily for 7 days). A repeat course of treatment may be required in some
cases.
For the control of lungworm Aelurostrongylus abstrusus in cats administer 1 syringe
graduation per 1 kg bodyweight for 3 consecutive days (= 50 mg fenbendazole/kg
bodyweight daily for 3 days).
To ensure a correct dosage, bodyweight should be determined as accurately as
possible.
