DOSAGE AND ADMINISTRATION

The recommended dose is 1g of product / 40 Kg of

weight, which is equivalent to:

lvermectin 250 mcg / Kg of weight;

Praziquantel 1.87mg / Kg of weight &

Fenbendazole 5.6 mg / Kg of weight.

To ensure administration of a correct dose, bodyweight

should be determined as accurately as possible and the

correct syringe division selected, as underdosing might

lead to an increased risk of development of resistance to

anthelmintic drugs.

The syringe should be adjusted to the calculated dosage

by setting the ring on the appropriate place on the

plunger.

The syringe contains 20 g of paste and delivers sufficient

paste to treat 800 kg of bodyweight at the recommended

dose rate.

DIRECTIONS FOR USE:

For oral use.

Before administration, adjust the syringe to the calculated

dosage by setting the ring on the plunger. The paste is

administered orally by inserting the nozzle of the syringe

through the interdental space and depositing the required

amount of the paste on the back of the tongue. The

animal’s mouth should be free of any food. Immediately

after administration, elevate the head of the horse for a

few seconds to ensure the dose is swallowed.

The veterinary surgeon should give advice regarding

appropriate dosing programmes and stock management

to achieve adequate parasite control for both tapeworm

and roundworm infestations.
