Directions
The prescribed amount of Embotape is deposited on the tongue of the animal and the animal allowed to swallow.
Control and treatment of Strongyles, Oxyuris and Parascaris
Use at a dose rate of 19mg pyrantel embonate per kg bodyweight. The dosing programmes are as follows:
- Foals (1-8 months of age): dose every 4 weeks.
- Horses (over 8 months of age): dose every 6-8 weeks, but during the summer and autumn when at grass dose every 4-6 weeks. Always dose 3-4 days before turning out after in wintering.
- Suckler mares: It has been shown that reduction of strongyle challenge to the suckling foal at pasture can be achieved by using clean pasture (re-seeded or not grazed the previous year by horses), dosing the mare 3-4 days before turning out and then at intervals of 2-4 weeks until the end of Autumn. Ideally mares with foals should go out to ‘clean’ pasture or, if this is not possible, delay turning them out until June.
Control and treatment of Anoplocephala (Tapeworm)
- Use at a dose rate of 38mg pyrantel embonate per kg bodyweight (i.e. twice the dose used for stronglyes).
- The need for re-treatment may vary, but if considered necessary, should be carried out after an interval of 6 weeks.
- To ensure administration of a correct dose, body weight should be determined as accurately as possible; accuracy of the dosing
device should be checked.
Ingredients
- Active Ingredient: Pyrantel embonate 11.4g.
- Other Ingredients: Butylated Hydroxytoluene 0.0057g, Polysorbate 80, Silica Colloidal Anydrous and Maize Oil.
Cautions
- Resistance to pyrantel has been reported in cyathostomes in horses (also widespread in the USA and Canada). Therefore the
use of this product should be based on local (regional, farm) epidemiological information about susceptibility of nematodes and recommendations on how to limit further selection for resistence to anthelmintics. - Impaction of the small intestine may occur in foals, infected with high numbers of Parascaris equorum. Symptoms (colic) may be seen as soon as 30 minutes after treatment.
Special precautions for use in animals:
- Contraindicated in known sensitivity to pyrantel and in severely debilitated animals.
- The same syringe should only be used to dose two animals if they are both healthy and are either running together, or are on the same premises and in direct contact with each other.
- Combined administration of pyrantel and levamisole or piperazine is not recommended.
Special precautions to be taken by the person administering the veterinary medicinal product to animals:
- Direct contact with the skin should be avoided.
- Wash hands and any other parts of the body which comes into contact with the product after use.
- Avoid handling the product if you know you are hypersensitive to pyrantel.
