Panacur 18.75% Oral Paste for Dogs and Cats is a broad-spectrum treatment for domestic cats and dogs infected with mature and immature roundworms in the gastro-intestinal and respiratory tracts. It also has an ovicidal effect on roundworm eggs. It also treats different worms in adult cats and dogs and puppies and kittens:
Panacur 18.75% Oral Paste for Dogs and Catsis effective on gastro-intestinal roundworms and tapeworms including Ascarid spp (Toxocara canis, Toxocara cati and Toxascaris leonina), Ancyclostoma spp, Trichuris spp, Uncinaria spp and Taenia spp in adult cats and dogs. In weaned puppies and kittens, Panacur 18.75% Oral Paste for Dogs and Cats treats gastro‑intestinal roundworms, as well as protozoa (Giardia spp) in puppies.
Panacur 18.75% Oral Paste for Dogs and Cats also treats cats and dogs with lungworm (Aelurostrongylus abstrusus in cats and Oslerus (Filaroides) osleri or protozoa Giardia spp in dogs).
Panacur 18.75% Oral Paste for Dogs and Cats is suitable for cats and dogs including pregnant bitches and queens, although as a reduced dosage is recommended for pregnant bitches a different formulation of Panacur such as Panacur Small Animal 10% Oral Suspension 100ml may be more appropriate. It can be used safely in puppies and kittens, but those under 6 months must weigh at least 1kg.
Each 5g syringe will treat adult cats and dogs weighing up to 9kg, and kittens and puppies weighing up to 6kg.
Directions
Should be administered orally by squeezing the paste from the syringe onto the back of the tongue after feeding.
Each injector contains 4.8 g paste, equivalent to 900 mg fenbendazole.
Orally administer 2 syringe graduations per 1kg bodyweight as a single dose (=100 mg fenbendazole/kg bodyweight). Each syringe is sufficient to dose up to 9kg bodyweight as a single dose.
Practical dosage recommendations:
- Up to 1kg 2 syringe graduations
- 1.1 to 2kg 4 syringe graduations
- 2.1 to 3kg 6 syringe graduations
- 3.1 to 4kg 8 syringe graduations
- 4.1 to 5kg 10 syringe graduations
- 5.1 to 6kg 12 syringe graduations
- 6.1 to 7kg 14 syringe graduations
- 7.1 to 8kg 16 syringe graduations
- 8.1 to 9kg 18 syringe graduations
Additional syringes are required for dogs and cats weighing over 9kg. For dogs and cats weighing over 9kg, two extra syringe graduations are required for each additional 1kg bodyweight as a single dose.
Treatment should be repeated when natural re-infection with parasitic worms occurs.
Routine treatment of adult animals with minimal exposure to infection is advisable 2 to 4 times per year.
More frequent treatment at 6 to 8 weekly intervals is advisable for dogs in kennels and cats in catteries or a breeders premises.
Puppies and kittens under 6 months of age
Only treat puppies and kittens weighing greater than 1kg with this product. Orally administer the recommended dosages as described below, daily for 3 consecutive days. Each syringe is sufficient to dose up to 6kg bodyweight for 3 consecutive days.
Practical dosage recommendations:
- 1.0 to 2kg 2 syringe graduations daily for 3 days
- 2.1 to 3kg 3 syringe graduations daily for 3 days
- 3.1 to 4kg 4 syringe graduations daily for 3 days
- 4.1 to 5kg 5 syringe graduations daily for 3 days
- 5.1 to 6kg 6 syringe graduations daily for 3 days
Additional syringes are required if puppies weigh over 6kg under 6 months old. For puppies weighing over 6kg, an extra syringe graduation is required daily for each additional 1kg bodyweight.
Puppies and kittens should be treated at 2 weeks of age, 5 weeks of age and again before leaving the breeder’s premises. Treatment may also be required at 8 and 12 weeks of age. Thereafter, frequency of treatment can be reduced unless the puppies and kittens remain in kennels or kittens remain in catteries /breeders premises where reinfection occurs more readily.
Pregnant dogs
Owing to the reduced dose rate for treatment of pregnant dogs (25mg fenbendazole/kg bodyweight daily) which cannot accurately be attained when using the syringe, it is recommended that alternative formulations of fenbendazole be used.
Pregnant cats
Pregnant cats can be safely treated with the product but only require a single treatment at the routine adult dose rate. Orally administer 2 syringe graduations per 1kg bodyweight as a single dose (= 100mg fenbendazole/kg bodyweight). Each syringe is sufficient to dose up to 9kg bodyweight as a single dose.
