Frequently Asked Questions

Q1: What is the active ingredient in Panacur Equine Paste 10% Horse Dewormer 25g?

Ans: Panacur Equine Paste 10% Horse Dewormer 25g contains fenbendazole at 10% concentration (100 mg per gram). Fenbendazole is an anthelmintic used to treat and control internal gastrointestinal parasites in horses when administered according to labeled directions.

Q2: Which parasites are indicated for treatment and control with this dewormer?

Ans: The label indicates treatment and control of large strongyles, small strongyles, pinworms, and ascarids. The label also includes encysted early third-stage, late third-stage, and fourth-stage cyathostome larvae, as well as arteritis caused by fourth-stage Strongylus vulgaris larvae.

Q3: What is the standard single-dose regimen for adult horses?

Ans: For control of large strongyles, small strongyles, and pinworms, the recommended dose is 2.3 mg per pound (5 mg/kg) administered orally as a single dose. One 25-gram syringe is designed to deworm a 1,100-pound horse at this dosage.

Q4: When is the 10 mg/kg dose recommended for foals and weanlings?

Ans: For foals and weanlings less than 18 months of age where ascarids are a common problem, the recommended dose is 4.6 mg per pound (10 mg/kg). At this dose, one 25-gram syringe deworms a 550-pound horse.

Q5: What is the 5-day regimen used for encysted larvae?

Ans: For control of hypobiotic (encysted early third-stage), late third-stage, and fourth-stage cyathostome larvae, and fourth-stage Strongylus vulgaris larvae, the recommended regimen is 4.6 mg per pound (10 mg/kg) daily for five consecutive days.

Q6: How is the dial ring set for accurate dosing?

Ans: First, determine the horse’s weight as accurately as possible. For the 5 mg/kg dosage rate, set the dial ring at the graduation nearest the horse’s weight. For the 10 mg/kg dosage rate, set the dial ring at two times the horse’s weight.

Q7: Do horses need dietary preparation before giving the paste?

Ans: The directions specify that the horse’s mouth should be free of food before administration. The syringe tip is removed, paste is advanced to the tip, and the dose is delivered orally. Following the labeled steps helps ensure the full measured dose is swallowed.

Q8: What key warnings apply to Panacur Equine Paste 10%?

Ans: Panacur Paste 10% is not for use in humans and should be kept out of reach of children. The label also states that the product should not be used in horses intended for human consumption. These warnings are part of the labeled safety information.

Q9: Are there precautions about reactions or special populations?

Ans: With higher doses, dying parasites may release antigens that can cause local or systemic hypersensitivity reactions, which should be treated symptomatically. Safety evaluations are described for pregnant mares and stallions at specific doses, but the 5-day 10 mg/kg regimen was not evaluated for stallions or pregnant mares.
