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.

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 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.
