Operator warning
Avoid contact with skin. Wash hands and any other parts of the
body which come into contact with the product.
Avoid inhalation of the product. Where a number of horses are to

dust mask.
For animal treatment only.
Keep out of reach of children.
Withdrawal period
Horse meat: zero days.
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.
Dosage and
administration
To
ensure administration of a correct dose, bodyweight should be
determined as accurately as possible; accuracy of the dosing
device should be checked.
Administration
Strongid-P Granules is recommended for feed or stomach-tube
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. Administer medicated feed or suspension
immediately after mixing.
Feed
Strongid-P Granules should be dispersed evenly in the feed –
preferably a relatively reduced quantity to ensure consumption.
Any unconsumed medicated feed should be discarded.
Stomach tube
Strongid-P Granules suspends in warm water and it may be
administered by a veterinary surgeon via a stomach tube. Add the
required amount of Strongid-P Granules to warm water and stir
immediately before use. Any medicated water which is not
administered within 24 hours should be discarded.
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.
Sachet pack
1 sachet per 300 kg (660 lb) bodyweight. Each sachet contains
7.43 g Strongid-P Granules (5.7 g pyrantel embonate).
Dosing programmes
Strongyles (including benzimidazole resistant strains),
Oxyuris
and
Parascaris.
Foals one to
eight months of age. Dose every four weeks.
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 38 mg pyrantel
embonate per kg bodyweight, that is twice the dose rate for
strongyles.

1 sachet per 150 kg (330 lb) bodyweight. Each sachet contains
7.43 g Strongid-P Granules (5.7 g pyrantel embonate).
Dosing programme – Anoplocephala
