Administration:
After removing the cap the paste should be deposited on the dorsum of the tongue. Introduce the nozzle end of the syringe at the corner of the mouth. Direct the syringe backwards and depress the plunger to deposit the paste onto the tongue. Given in this manner it is unlikely that rejection of the paste will occur. Raising the horse`s head sometimes assists in the swallowing process. When only part of the paste has been used replace the cap on the syringe nozzle. Note: Position screw-gauge over appropriate mark on plunger. Each milliliter contains 226 milligrams pyrantel base as pyrantel pamoate. Effocacy:

Horses and ponies over 8 months of age should be routinely dosed every 6 weeks.
