Zoetis Animal Health Strongid Paste Equine Dewormer

• Broad-spectrum equine paste dewormer
• Contains pyrantel, a compound from the tetrahydropyrimidine class
• Chemical class, unrelated to other classes of equine anthelmintics
• Convenient disposable syringe treats 1,200-lb body weight
• Wide margin of safety
• Approved for the removal and control in ponies and horses for:
  • Mature infections of large strongyles (Strongylus vulgaris, S. edentatus, S. equinus)
  • Pinworms (Oxyuris equi)
  • Large roundworms (Parascaris equorum)
  • Small strongyles

For maximum control of parasitism, it is recommended that foals (2 to 8 months of age) be dosed every four (4) weeks. To minimize the potential source of infection that the mare may pose to the foal, the mare should be treated one (1) month prior to the anticipated foaling date followed by retreatment 10 days to two (2) weeks after birth of foal. Horses and ponies over eight (8) months of age should be routinely dosed every six (6) weeks. Veterinarians are the best source to determine frequency of treatments

After removing the cap, the paste should be deposited on the dorsum of the tongue. Introduce the nozzle end of the syringe at the corner of the mouth. Direct the syringe backwards and depress the plunger to deposit the paste onto the tongue. Given in this manner, it is unlikely that rejection of the paste will occur. Raising the horse’s head sometimes assists in the swallowing process. If only part of the paste has been used, replace the cap on the syringe nozzle

IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION:  Consult a veterinarian before using STRONGID PASTE in severely debilitated animals.  Not for use in horses intended for human consumption.
