Panacur® (fenbendazole) Paste 10% contains the active anthelmintic, fenbendazole.
Each gram of Panacur® Paste 10% contains 100 mg of fenbendazole and is flavored
with artificial apple-cinnamon liquid. The antiparasitic action of Panacur®
Paste 10% is believed to be due to the inhibition of energy metabolism in the
parasite.
Indications
Consult your veterinarian for assistance in the diagnosis, treatment and control
of parasitism.
Panacur® Paste 10% is indicated for the control of large strongyles (Strongylus
edentatus, S. equinus, S. vulgaris), encysted early 3rd
stage (hypobiotic), late 3rd stage and 4th stage cyathostome larvae, small
strongyles, pinworms (Oxyuris equi), ascarids (Parascaris equorum),
and arteritis caused by 4th stage larvae of Strongylus vulgaris in
horses.
Panacur® Paste 10% is approved for use concomitantly with an approved form of
trichlorfon. Trichlorfon is approved for the treatment of stomach bots (Gasterophilus
spp.) in horses. Refer to the manufacturer's label for directions for use
and cautions for trichlorfon.
Contraindications
There are no known contraindications for the use of Panacur® Paste 10% in horses
or cattle. In dairy cattle, there is no milk withdrawal period.
Precautions
Side effects associated with Panacur® Paste 10% could not be established in
well-controlled safety studies in horses with single doses as high as 454 mg/lb.
(1,000 mg/kg) and 15 consecutive daily doses of 22.7 mg/lb. (50 mg/kg). At
higher dose levels, the lethal action of fenbendazole may cause the release of
antigens by the dying parasites. This phenomenon may result in either a local or
systemic hypersensitive reaction varying in severity from itching or a rash to
increased respiration and collapse. A veterinarian should be consulted if this
type of reaction is suspected.
Panacur® Paste 10% has been evaluated for safety in pregnant mares during all
stages of gestation with doses as high as 11.4 mg/lb. (25 mg/kg) and in
stallions with doses as high as 11.4 mg/lb (25 mg/kg). No adverse effects on
reproductivity were detected. The recommended dose for control of 4th stage
larvae of Strongylus vulagris, 4.6 mg/lb. (10 mg/kg) daily for 5
consecutive days, has not been evaluated for safety in stallions or pregnant
mares. Do not use in horses intended for human consumption.
Dosage
Panacur® Paste 10% is administered orally at a rate of 2.3 mg/lb. (5 mg/kg) for
the control of large strongyles, small strongyles, and pinworms. Each mark on
the plunger rod corresponds to a dose of 5 mg/kg (2.3 mg/lb.) for 250 lbs. body
weight. For foals and weanlings (less than 18 months of age) where ascarids are
a common problem, the recommended dose is 4.6 mg/lb. (10 mg/kg) or two marks
will deworm a 250 lb. horse. For control of encysted early 3rd stage (hypobiotic),
late 3rd stage and 4th stage cyathostome larvae and 4th stage larvae of
Strongylus vulgaris, the recommended dose is 4.6 mg/lb. (10 mg/kg) daily
for 5 consecutive days; administer two marks for each 250 lbs. body weight per
day.
