Presentation
A ready to administer, light yellow coloured, oral anthelmintic paste for horses and other equines. Each 28.5g syringe contains 11.4g pyrantel embonate as active ingredient
 
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.
