Mares may be treated at any stage of pregnancy. Stallions may be treated without adversely affecting their fertility. Dosage and Administration Give 1 mL/100 kg bodyweight orally. Each weight marking on the syringe plunger will deliver 1.15 g of paste, which is sufficient to treat 100 kg bodyweight. The contents of this syringe will treat one horse at 700 kg bodyweight. Insert the syringe into the side of the horse's mouth in the gap between the front and back teeth. Advance the plunger as far as it will go, press the plunger to the chosen dosage, depositing the medication on the rear of the tongue. Immediately raise the horse's head for a few seconds after dosing to ensure the full dose has been swallowed. Suggested parasite control program. All horses should be included in a regular parasite control program with particular attention being paid to mares, foals and yearlings. Foals should be treated initially at 6 to 8 weeks of age, and routine treatment repeated as appropriate. Regular treatment will reduce the chances of verminous arteritis and colic caused by S. vulgaris. It is recommended that horses be wormed every six to eight weeks or as recommended by a veterinarian.
