Strongid-P Oral Paste 439 mg/g

Administration:
The veterinary medicinal product is recommended for direct oral administration in
horses, ponies, donkeys and foals over four weeks of age. It is not necessary to
withhold any feed prior to administration. The following method of administration is
recommended:
1. Position the locking ring over the appropriate mark on the plunger.
2. Remove the cap from the nozzle.
3. The paste is best deposited on the upper surface of the tongue. Introduce the
nozzle end of the oral syringe at the corner of the mouth. Direct the oral syringe
backwards and depress the plunger to deposit the paste onto tongue. Providing the
paste is given in this way it is unlikely that any rejection will occur. Raising the head
by a hand under the chin sometimes helps with swallowing.

Dosage: For the control and treatment of tapeworms: the veterinary medicinal
product should be used at a dose rate of 38 mg pyrantel embonate per kg
bodyweight, that is twice the dose rate for strongyles.
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
