Active Ingredients & Their Function
- Oxfendazole (7.0g): A benzimidazole anthelmintic, effective against roundworms, strongyles, and pinworms, even those resistant to some other dewormers.
- Pyrantel Embonate (9.1g): A tetrahydropyrimidine compound that paralyzes and eliminates worms, aiding in the removal of tapeworms when used strategically.
Dosage & Administration
- Dosage: 1 mL per 20 kg body weight. Each 30 mL syringe treats horses up to 700 kg.
- Administration:
- Ensure the horse’s mouth is free of food before administering.
- Insert the syringe into the side of the mouth and deliver the paste orally.
- For strategic parasite control, follow a rotational worming program or veterinarian guidance.
Precautions:
Egg shedding may resume 2-4 weeks after treatment, particularly in cases of Parascaris equorum (equine roundworm) resistance to macrocyclic lactone (ML) anthelmintics. To improve control of juvenile (immature) stages in resistant parasites, a re-treatment interval of 2-4 weeks is recommended.
For best results, consult your veterinarian to establish a strategic deworming schedule and monitor treatment effectiveness
Why Regular Worming is Essential for Your Horse
Horses are constantly exposed to parasites, which can lead to digestive issues, weight loss, poor coat condition, and performance decline. Regular strategic deworming with broad-spectrum wormers like Strategy-T is essential for preventing parasitic infections, reducing resistance development, and maintaining your horse’s overall well-being.
Ensure complete parasite protection with Strategy-T Broad-Spectrum Horse Wormer—the trusted choice for long-term equine health.
