Equine Dewormers – Safe Guard (Fenbendazole) Dewormer (Equine use only)

Horse Dewormer

For the treatment of infections cause by the following internal parasites in horses.  Large strongyles, small strongyles, ascarids, and pinworms.  This product is also indicated for the treatment of equine larval cyathostomosis induced by encrusted early third stage, late third stage and fourth stage small strongyles.  Read cautionary statements.

Store at room temperature, below 25 C.

Certain species of small strongyles have become resistant to most anthelmintics belonging to the benzimidazole family of compounds, including fenbendazole.  In suspected cases of larval cyathostomosis, the prognosis is usually guarded since the underlying pathology can be severe without the animals showing marked clinical signs.  Consult your veterinarian reguarding the diagnosis, treatment and control of parasitism in horses.

Administer orally to horses at the following dosage:  The routine recommended dosage is 5mg of fenbendazole per kg of body weight.  This is equivilent to one syringe per 500kg (1100lb) of body weight.  In cases of larval cyathostomosis, administer this product at a daily dosage of 10mg fenbendazole per kg of body weight during five consecutive days.  This is equivilent to two syringes per 500kg (1100lb) of body weight per day, administered during five consecutive days.  Foals and young horses under 18 months of age require a dose of 10mg of fenbendazole per kg of body weight for the treatment of ascarid infections.  At this dosage, the contents of one syringe will treat a 250kg (550lb) foal.
