Equi-Cide

Chemical Name

(E)-1,4,5,6-tetrahydro-1-methyl-2-[2-(2-thienyl)-vinyl]-pyrimidine 4,4’ methylenebis [3-hydroxy-2-naphtholate] (1:1)

Equi-Cide Indications For Use

For the removal and control of mature infections of large strongyles (Strongylus vulgaris, S. edentatus, S. equinus); small strongyles; pinworms (Oxyuris equi); and large roundworms (Parascaris equorum) in horses and ponies.

Consult your veterinarian for assistance in the diagnosis, treatment and control of parasitism.

Dosage And Treatment

EQUI-CIDE^® (Pyrantel Pamoate Paste) is to be administered as a single oral dose of 3 milligrams pyrantel base per pound of body weight. The syringe has four weight mark increments. Each weight mark indicates the recommended dose for 300 pounds of body weight.

Dosage
Body Weight Range	Volume	mg Pyrantel Base
up to 300 lb	1/4 syringe	900 mg
301 to 600 lb	1/2 syringe	1800 mg
601 to 900 lb	3/4 syringe	2700 mg
901 to 1200 lb	1 full syringe	3600 mg

Note

Position screw-gauge over appropriate mark on plunger. Each milliliter contains 226 milligrams pyrantel base as pyrantel pamoate.

For maximum control of parasitism, it is recommended that foals (2-8 months of age) be dosed every 4 weeks. To minimize the potential source of infection that the mare may pose to the foal, the mare should be treated 1 month prior to anticipated foaling date followed by re-treatment 10 days to 2 weeks after birth of foal. Horses and ponies over 8 months of age should be routinely dosed every 6 weeks.

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.

Efficacy

Critical (worm count) studies in horses demonstrated that pyrantel pamoate administered at the recommended dosage was efficacious against mature infections of Strongylus vulgaris (>90%), S. edentatus (69%), S. equinus (>90%), Oxyuris equi (81%), Parascaris equorum (>90%), and small strongyles (>90%).
