PANACUR EQUINE GUARD
Contra-indications,
warnings, etc
General warnings
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.
-Underdosing, 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.
Intensive use or misuse of anthelmintics can give rise to
resistance. To reduce this risk, dosing programmes should be
discussed with your veterinary surgeon.
