MSD PANACUR HORSE PASTE SNG

Target species Horses and other equines. Indications for use A broad spectrum anthelmintic for the treatment and control of adult and immature roundworms of the gastro-intestinal tract in horses and other equines. Panacur also has an ovicidal effect on nematode eggs. Panacur effectively treats and controls the following roundworm infections: Large strongyles (adults and migrating larval stages of S.vulgaris; adults and tissue larval stages of S.edentatus). Benzimidazole susceptible adult and immature small strongyles (Cyathostomes), including encysted mucosal 3rd and 4th stage larvae; it is also effective against encysted inhibited 3rd stage larvae in the mucosa. Adult and immature Oxyuris spp.,Strongyloides spp. and Parascaris equorum. Contraindications None. Special warnings for each target species Care should be taken to avoid the following practices because they increase the risk of development of resistance and could ultimately result in ineffective therapy: •Too frequent and repeated use of anthelmintics from the same class, over an extended period of time. •Under dosing, which may be due to underestimation of body weight, misadministration of the product, or lack of calibration of the dosing device (if any). Suspected clinical cases of resistance to anthelmintics should be further investigated using appropriate tests (e.g. Faecal Egg Count Reduction Test). Where the results of the test(s) strongly suggest resistance to a particular anthelmintic, an anthelmintic belonging to another pharmacological class and having a different mode of action should be used. Resistance to fenbendazole has been reported in cyathostomes in horses. Therefore the use of this product should be based on local (regional, farm) epidemiological information about susceptibility of nematodes and recommendations on how to limit further selection for resistance to anthelmintics. Special precautions for use Assess bodyweight as accurately as possible before calculating the dosage. Operator warnings Direct contact with the skin should be kept to a minimum. Wear impermeable rubber gloves while administering the product. Wash hands after use. Adverse reactions None known. Use during pregnancy or lactation Pregnant mares and foals may be safely treated with fenbendazole at therapeutic dosage levels. Interactions None known.
