|
Dosage and
administration
Administer orally, one syringe per 600kg bodyweight
as a single dose (=19mg pyrantel embonate per kg
bodyweight).
Increased dosing for treatment of tapeworm infections
Double the dose rate, ie Two syringes per 600kg
bodyweight (=38mg pyrantel embonate/kg bodyweight).
Assess bodyweight as accurately as possible before
calculating the dosage. The use of a `weigh band' is
recommended.
Position the dosage ring of the syringe at the
appropriate mark using the recommended dosage. Open the
mouth of the horse and eject the contents of the syringe
onto the back of the tongue. Raising the horse's head
sometimes assists in the swallowing process.
Recommended dosing programmes
Horses
During the grazing season, all horses over 8 months of
age should be wormed with Pyratape P every 4-6 weeks.
For the remainder of the year, horses should be wormed
with Pyratape P every 6-8 weeks. New horses and horses
which have spent the winter inside should be wormed with
Pyratape P and then kept in for 3-4 days before turnout.
Mares with foals
Mares with foals should preferably be grazed on pasture
which has not been grazed by other horses for the
previous 12 months. Where this is not possible, pasture
which has not been grazed by other horses from January
to the end of May should be used and turnout delayed
until June. This will help reduce the roundworm
challenge to the foal. Dose the mare 3-4 days before
turning out and then at intervals for 2-4 weeks until
the end of Autumn.
Foals aged 1-8 months
Foals should be treated with Pyratape P from 4 weeks of
age and retreated every 4 weeks.
