Dose to be administered and administration route
Oral use.
Dosage:
The recommended dosage is 200 mcg/kg bw of ivermectin and 1 mg/kg bw of praziquantel corresponding to 1.29 g of paste per 100 kg bodyweight in a single administration.
Bodyweight and dosage should be accurately determined prior to treatment. For syringes intended to treat horses up to 600 kg and 1100 kg, calibrated markings are provided at 100 kg bodyweight intervals. For the syringe intended to treat horses up to 750 kg, calibrated markings are provided at 125 kg bodyweight intervals. The syringe should be adjusted to the calculated dosage by setting the ring on the appropriate place on the plunger.
Method of administration:
To ensure a correct dosage, body weight should be determined as accurately as possible.
While holding the plunger, turn the knurled ring on the plunger ¼ turn to the left and slide it so the stop ring is at the prescribed weight marking. Lock the ring in place by turning it ¼ turn to the right in order to bring the two arrows, the one visible on the ring and the one on the plunger rod, into alignment. Make sure the horse’s mouth contains no feed. Remove the cover from the tip of the syringe. Insert the syringe tip into the horse’s mouth at the interdental space and deposit the paste on the base of the tongue. Immediately raise the horse’s head for a few seconds after dosing and ensure that the paste is consumed.
Parasite control Program
Veterinary advice should be given on appropriate dosing programs and stock management to achieve adequate parasite control for both tapeworm and roundworm infestations.
Adverse reactions
Horses:
|
Rare (1 to 10 animals / 10,000 animals treated): |
Oedema1; pruritus1 Inflammation of the mouth, lip and tongue (e.g., oedema, hypersalivation, erythema, tongue disorder and stomatitis)2 |
1Can occur for some horses with heavy infestation of Onchocerca spp. microfilariae following the treatment; such reactions were assumed to be the result of the death of large numbers of microfilariae. These signs resolve within a few days but symptomatic treatment may be advisable. In cases of heavy infestations with tapeworms, signs of mild, transient colic and loose stool may be observed.
2These reactions have been transitory in nature, appearing within 1 hour and abating within 24 to 48 hours following administration. In case of severe oral reactions symptomatic treatment is recommended.
Reporting adverse events is important. It allows continuous safety monitoring of a veterinary medicinal product. Reports should be sent, preferably via a veterinarian, to either the marketing authorisation holder or its local representative or the national competent authority via the national reporting system. See the package leaflet for respective contact details.
