Merck Panacur® Paste 10% Horse Dewormer
Panacur is a highly palatable apple-cinnamon flavored wormer that covers a broad spectrum of worms. Very easy on your horse, and perfect for sensitive horses, it is safe on all ages and breeds of horses, as well as for pregnant or lactating mares. It can be used up to five days in a row for severe worm cases. If you don’t know your horse's worming history, it's an ideal first-time wormer, as well as an excellent rotational wormer.
Each gram of Panacur Paste contains 100mg of fenbendazole and is flavored with artificial apple-cinnamon liquid. It is indicated for the control of large strongyles (Strongylus edentatus, S. equinus, S. vulgaris), encysted early third stage (hypobiotic), late third stage and fourth stage cyathostome larvae, small strongyles, pinworms (Oxyuris equi), ascarids (Parascaris equorum), and arteritis caused by fourth stage larvae of Stongylus vulgaris in horses.

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 454mg/lb. (1,000mg/kg) and 15 consecutive daily doses of 22.7mg/lb. (50mg/kg). Particularly with higher doses, 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. As with any drug, these reactions should be treated symptomatically. Panacur Paste 10% has been evaluated for safety in pregnant mares during all stages of gestation with doses as high as 11.4mg/lb. (25mg/kg) and in stallions with doses as high as 11.4mg/lb. (25mg/kg). No adverse effects on reproductively were detected. The recommended dose for control of 4th stage larvae of Strongylus vulgaris, 4.6mg/lb. (10mg/kg) daily for five consecutive days, has not been evaluated for safety in stallions or pregnant mares.
