Directions
Safe-Guard Equine Dewormer Paste (Fenbendazole 10%) is a powerful and effective oral dewormer for horses. It helps control and eliminate major equine parasites including large and small strongyles, pinworms, ascarids (roundworms), and migrating larvae.
Directions for Use:
- Administer orally using the syringe provided.
- Remove the syringe tip before use.
- Turn the dial ring so that the edge nearest the tip aligns with "zero."
- Depress the plunger slightly to bring paste to the tip.
- Set the dial ring to the correct mark based on your horse’s weight (do not underdose).
- Insert the nozzle into the side of the horse’s mouth and deposit paste on the back of the tongue.
- Standard dosage: 2.3 mg/lb (5 mg/kg) of body weight. One 25 g syringe treats a 1,100 lb horse.
- Foals & weanlings: 4.6 mg/lb (10 mg/kg) for treatment of ascarids. One syringe treats a 550 lb foal.
- For encysted larvae: 4.6 mg/lb (10 mg/kg) daily for 5 consecutive days. One syringe per 550 lbs per day.
How It Works:
Each gram of Safe-Guard Paste contains 100 mg of Fenbendazole, a broad-spectrum anthelmintic that disrupts energy metabolism in internal parasites, effectively killing them at both larval and adult stages.
