Large strongyles (adults and migrating larval stages of S.vulgaris; adults and tissue larval stages of S. edentatus)

Adult and immature small strongyles (Cyathostomes) (benzimidazole susceptible) including encysted mucosal 3rd and 4th stage larvae; it is also effective against inhibited 3rd stage larvae (encysted) in the mucosa.

Adult and immature Oxyuris spp., Strongyloides spp. and Parascaris equorum.

Panacur also has an ovicidal effect on nematode eggs.

For the treatment and control of migrating stages of large strongyles, administer 40g Panacur Equine Granules per 150kg bodyweight.

(= 60mg fenbendazole/kg bodyweight)

Diarrhoea caused by Strongyloides westeri in two to three week old suckling foals should be treated with Panacur 10% Suspension at a dose rate of 25ml per 50kg bodyweight.

(= 50mg fenbendazole per kg bodyweight)

Panacur Equine Granules should be sprinkled onto concentrate or grain feed and the full dosage given as one administration.

To ensure administration of a correct dose, body weight should be determined as accurately as possible; accuracy of the dosing device should be checked.

Recommended dosing programme

All horses should be routinely wormed with the single dose of Panacur Equine Granules every 6-8 weeks.

Treatment of encysted mucosal dwelling larvae should ideally be done in the autumn (late October/November) and again in the Spring.

However, for horses who fail to maintain condition or bought-in horses with unknown worming history, the treatment can be given at any time of the year.
