Description
PRESENTATION:
Oral paste in dial-a-dose syringe. FARNAM® WORMA® PASTE FOR HORSES is safe for
use in horses of all ages.
ACTIVE CONSTITUENTS: Each g contains:
OXFENDAZOLE 107.2 mg
PIPERAZINE (as DIHYDROCHLORIDE) 214.4 mg
PROPERTIES:
A broad spectrum oral anthelmintic administered by syringe. Controls sensitive strains of adult and immature forms of
large roundworms (Parascaris equorum), pinworm (Oxyuris equi), large strongyles (Strongylus spp), adult stomach
hairworm (Trichonstrongylus axei) and adult stomach worm (Habronema microstoma) and small strongyles
(Cyathostomes). Also kills tissue stages of Strongylus edentatus and aids in the control of migrating stages of Strongylus
vulgaris with a corresponding reduction in arterial lesions. Two doses given two days apart gives enhanced efficacy
against migrating strongyles and will decrease the incidence of associated colic.
DOSAGE & ADMINISTRATION:
Dose according to bodyweight by setting the plunger ring to the required bodyweight setting. The syringe is calibrated in
50 kg divisions. A 56 g syringe contains sufficient WORMA® PASTE to treat a 600 kg horse. Ensure syringe is placed on
the back of the horse’s tongue, not between the teeth and cheeks. Depress the plunger and keep horse’s head elevated and its
mouth closed until the paste is swallowed. Internal parasites can develop resistance to anthelmintics. Pasture management,
rotation between different types of wormer and other measures should be used to minimise the incidence of anthelmintic
resistance.
Do not treat sick, debilitated or pregnant animals without seeking veterinary advice.
Note:
• Treat all horses on the property every 6-8 weeks. Treat visiting and new horses before introduction to the pasture.
• Foals may be treated every 4 weeks to control Large Roundworm.
• When rotating to other wormers, we recommend using MECWORMA® & BOT or MECWORMA® & TAPE.
