STRONGID P PASTE
Contra-indications,
warnings, etc
Contra-indications, warnings, etc
Not for use in horses with known
hypersensitivity to the active ingredient.
Only for direct oral administration.
The same oral dose should only be used to dose two animals if
they are both healthy and are either running together, or are on
the same premises and in direct contact with each other.
Avoid contact with the skin. Wash hands and any other parts of
the body which come into contact with the product.
To be used for animal treatment only
Keep out of the reach of children
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 bodyweight,
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 anthelmintics belonging to
another pharmacological class and having a different mode of
action should be used.
Resistance to pyrantel has been reported in cyathostomes in
horses in a number of countries, including the EU. Therefore the
use of this product should be based on a local (regional, farm)
epidemiological information about susceptibility of nematodes
and recommendations on how to limit further selection for
resistance to anthelmintics.
Withdrawal period

Uses
Strongid-P Paste is a safe, effective, well accepted and
easily administered broad-spectrum anthelmintic, which is
indicated for use in the horse and donkey for the control and
treatment of adult infections of large and small strongyles,
Oxyuris, Parascaris and Anoplocephala perfoliata.
Strongid-P Paste is effective against benzimidazole resistant
strains of small strongyles and should be used wherever the
presence of such strains is suspected
Dosage and
administration
Administration
Strongid-P Paste is recommended for direct oral administration
in horses, ponies and foals of over four weeks of age and
donkeys. It is not necessary to withhold any feed prior to
administration. The following method of administration is
recommended:
1.Position the
locking ring over the appropriate mark on the plunger.
2.Remove the cap
from the nozzle.
3.The paste is
best deposited on the upper surface (dorsum) of the tongue.
Introduce the nozzle end of the syringe at the corner of the
mouth (labial commissure). Direct the syringe backwards and
depress the plunger to deposit the paste onto the tongue.
Providing the paste is given in this way it is unlikely that any
rejection will occur. Raising of the horse's head by a hand
under the chin sometimes assists in the swallowing process.
Dosage
For
the control and treatment of strongyles including benzimidazole
resistant strains (redworm),
Oxyuris
(seatworm/pinworm) and
Parascaris
(roundworm).
Strongid-P should be used at a dose rate of 19 mg pyrantel
embonate per kg bodyweight.

Dosing programmes
Strongyles (including benzimidazole resistant strains),
Oxyuris
and
Parascaris.
Foals - one to eight months of age
Dose every four weeks.
Horses and donkeys over eight months of
age
Routinely dose every six to eight weeks, but during the summer
and autumn when at grass dose every four to six weeks.
Always dose three to four days before turning out after
in-wintering.
Suckler mares
It has been shown that reduction of strongyle challenge to the
suckling foal at pasture can be achieved by using clean pasture
(re-seeded or not grazed the previous year by horses), dosing
the mare three to four days before turning out and then at
intervals of two to four weeks until the end of autumn.
Ideally mares with foals should go out to `clean' pasture or, if
this is not possible, delay turning them out until June.
Dosage
For the control and treatment of
Anoplocephala
perfoliata:
(tapeworm). Strongid-P should be used at a dose rate of 38mg
pyrantel embonate per kg bodyweight, that is twice the dose rate
for strongyles.
Dosing programme – Anoplocephala
perfoliata
The need for retreatment may vary, but if considered necessary
should be carried out after an interval of six weeks.
