Description
Panacur Horse & Cattle Dewormer Suspension is a broad-spectrum anthelmintic (dewormer) specifically formulated to treat and control a variety of internal parasites in horses and cattle. This easy-to-administer oral suspension targets strongyles, roundworms, lungworms, and other parasitic infections, helping to protect the overall health, growth, and performance of livestock.
The active ingredient, fenbendazole, works by disrupting the parasites' ability to absorb glucose, ultimately causing energy depletion and death. Its proven efficacy and safety make it a trusted choice among veterinarians and livestock owners. Panacur's convenient liquid formulation simplifies dosing for both small and large herds, offering reliable parasite control with every treatment.
Key Benefits
- Broad-Spectrum Efficacy: Effectively treats and controls multiple types of internal parasites, including strongyles, roundworms, lungworms, and tapeworms.
- Easy Oral Administration: Liquid suspension allows for stress-free dosing in horses and cattle without complicated procedures.
- Trusted Active Ingredient: Contains fenbendazole, a widely used and veterinarian-recommended anthelmintic with a proven safety record.
- Supports Livestock Health: Helps improve weight gain, feed efficiency, and overall well-being by reducing parasite loads.
- Flexible Packaging Options: Available in multiple sizes to meet the needs of individual animals or large herds.
- Veterinary-Recommended Solution: Preferred by veterinarians for routine parasite management in horses and cattle.
How It Works
Panacur Suspension works by interfering with the energy metabolism of parasites. Fenbendazole inhibits glucose uptake in parasites, causing energy depletion and eventual elimination through the animal's natural waste processes.
Indications
Indicated for the treatment and control of lungworms, stomach worms, intestinal worms, and tapeworms in cattle, as well as large strongyles, small strongyles, pinworms, and roundworms in horses. Ideal for regular parasite prevention and treatment programs.

Panacur oral dewormer contains fenbendazole, which kills parasites by disrupting their energy metabolism.
Panacur is given orally and mixed with a small amount of food. Always follow the dosage instructions provided by your veterinarian. If you have difficulty giving the medication, contact your veterinarian. In most cases, it must be given for multiple consecutive days.
Panacur will safely remove roundworms, hookworms, whipworms, and Taenia pisiformis (a tapeworm). It will not prevent reinfection with these parasites.
Have your veterinarian explain the other treatment options that may be available to treat your pet's condition.
Some intestinal parasites, such as hookworms and roundworms can be spread to people. Talk to your veterinarian about other measures you can take to prevent your pet from being infected with intestinal worms, and protecting yourself.
Notify your veterinarian of any other medications or supplements your pet is receiving. Also tell your veterinarian if your pet has had any reactions to previous medications.
If you miss a dose, give it as soon as you remember. If it is almost time for the next dose, skip the one you missed and go back to the regular schedule. Do not give two doses at once. Contact your veterinarian to determine if additional doses will be needed.
Panacur is mixed with the food, so it is very important that the pet eat all of the food and consume all of the Panacur.
Not for use in animals who are hypersensitive (allergic) to it.
Rare. May see vomiting.
If your pet experiences an allergic reaction to the medication or has a reaction to the dying parasites, signs may include facial swelling, hives, scratching, sudden onset of diarrhea, vomiting, shock, seizures, pale gums, cold limbs, or coma. If you observe any of these signs, contact your veterinarian immediately.
Panacur is a very safe drug. Adverse reactions and toxicities are unlikely. If you know or suspect your pet has had an overdose, or if you observe any unusual signs, symptoms, or behaviors, contact your veterinarian immediately.
Notify your veterinarian of any other medications, including vitamins and supplements, your pet is taking while your pet is receiving fenbendazole. There are no known drug or food interactions.
Store at room temperature in a tight, light-resistant, childproof container. Keep out of reach of children and pets.
