Pyrid Pyrantel Pamoate Oral Paste

Description

Pyrid Pyrantel Pamoate Oral Paste is an anthelmintic (deworming) medication commonly used for horses. It is specifically formulated to treat and control certain types of internal parasites.

• Purpose: Pyrid Pyrantel Pamoate Oral Paste is used to treat and control a variety of internal parasites in horses, including large strongyles (bloodworms), small strongyles, pinworms, and roundworms (ascarids). It’s part of a strategic deworming program aimed at maintaining the health and well-being of horses by reducing the parasite load.
• Active Ingredient: The active ingredient in this paste is pyrantel pamoate, an anthelmintic that works by paralyzing the worms, causing them to be expelled from the horse’s system through normal bowel movements.
• Mode of Action: Pyrantel pamoate acts as a depolarizing neuromuscular blocking agent. It effectively paralyzes the parasites, which are then unable to maintain their position in the intestines and are passed out of the horse’s body.
• Administration: The paste is administered orally using a syringe-like applicator. It’s important to ensure that the horse swallows the entire dose, so administering the paste on the back of the tongue or deep in the horse’s mouth is recommended.
• Dosage: The correct dosage is based on the horse’s body weight. The syringe usually has markings to help administer the precise amount needed. It is important to accurately estimate or weigh the horse to ensure the correct dosage.
• Benefits:
  • Targeted Efficacy: Pyrid Pyrantel Pamoate Oral Paste is particularly effective against specific types of parasites, making it an essential component of a rotational deworming program.
  • Safety: Pyrantel pamoate is known for its safety and is often used in young horses, as well as in mares and stallions, without adverse effects when used as directed.
  • Convenient Formulation: The paste form is easy to administer, and its palatable flavor often makes it more acceptable to horses.
• Frequency of Use: The frequency of administration depends on the horse’s age, environment, and overall health, as well as the specific parasite control strategy being used. Regular deworming schedules should be developed in consultation with a veterinarian to ensure effectiveness and to help manage parasite resistance.
