Msd Panacur Equine Guard Unflavoured

Target Species Horses and other equines. Indications for use For the treatment and control of adult and immature roundworms of the gastro-intestinal tract in horses and other equines. The product is also effective for the treatment and control of encysted mucosal 3rd and 4th stage small strongyle larvae and is also effective against encysted inhibited 3rd stage small strogyle larvae in the mucosa. The product is also effective in controlling other immature and mature roundworms including large redworm (Strongylus edentatus and Strongylus vulgaris) and migrating large redworm, Ascarids (Parascaris equorum), Oxyuris and Strongyloides species and benzimidazole susceptible adult and immature small strongyles (Cyathostomes). The product also has an ovicidal effect on nematode eggs. Contraindications None known. 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. Intensive use or misuse of anthelmintics can give rise to resistance. To reduce this risk, dosing programmes should be discussed with your veterinary surgeon. Operator warnings Direct contact with the skin should be kept to a minimum. Wear suitable protective clothing including impermeable rubber gloves. Wash hands after use. Adverse Reactions None known. Use during pregnancy or lactation Pregnant mares and young foals may also be safely treated with fenbendazole at therapeutic dosage levels. Interactions None known.
