Active Ingredient(s): STRONGID^® Paste is a pale yellow to buff paste containing 43.9% w/w pyrantel base in 23.6 g (20 mL) of paste. Each mL contains 180 mg pyrantel base as pyrantel pamoate.

Indications: For the removal and control of mature infections of large strongyles (Strongylus vulgaris. S. edentaius. S. equinus); small strongyles: pinworms (Oxyuris equi); and large roundworms (Parascaris equorum) in horses and ponies.

Consult a veterinarian for assistance in the diagnosis, treatment, and control af parasitism.

Pharmacology: Pyrantel pamoate is a compound belonging to a family classified chemically as tetrahydropyrimidines. It is a yellow, water-insoluble crystalline salt of the tetrahydropyrimidine base and pamoic acid containing 34.7% base activity. The chemical structure and name are given below.

The chemical name is (E)-1,4,5,6-tetrahydro-1-methyl-2-[2-(2-thienyl) vinyl]- pyrimidine 4,4' methylenebis [3-hydroxy-2-naphtholate] (1:1).

Dosage and Administration: STRONGID^® Paste is to be administered as a single oral dose of 3 mg pyrantel base per pound of body weight. The syringe has four (4) weight mark increments. Each weight mark indicates the recommended dose for 300 pounds of body weight.

Body Weight Range	Volume	mg Pyrantel Base
Up to 300 lbs.	syringe (5 mL)	900 mg
301 to 600 lbs.	syringe (10 mL)	1,800 mg
601 to 900 lbs.	syringe (15 mL)	2,700 mg
901 to 1,200 lbs.	1 full syringe (20 mL)	3,600 mg

Note: Position the screw-gauge over the appropriate mark on the plunger. Each mL contains 180 mg pyrantel base as pyrantel pamoate.

For maximum control of parasitism, it is recommended that foals (2 to 8 months of age) be dosed every four (4) weeks. To minimize the potential source of infection that the mare may pose to the foal, the mare should be treated one (1) month prior to the anticipated foaling date followed by retreatment 10 days to two (2) weeks after the birth of the foal. Horses and ponies over eight (8) months of age should be routinely dosed every six (6) weeks.

After removing the cap the paste should be deposited on the dorsum of the tongue. Introduce the nozzle end of the syringe backwards and depress the plunger to deposit the paste onto the tongue. Given in this manner, it is unlikely that rejection of the paste will occur. Raising the horse's head sometimes assists in the swallowing process. When only part of the paste has been used, replace the cap on the syringe nozzle.

Precaution(s): Store at room temperature, 15°-30°C (59°-86°F).

Caution(s): Keep out of the reach of children.

It is recommended that severely debilitated animals not be treated with this preparation.

Warning(s): Not for use in horses intended for food.

Trial Data: Critical (worm count) studies in horses demonstrated that STRONGID^® Paste (pyrantel pamoate) administered at the recommended dosage was efficacious against mature infections of Strongylus vulgaris (>90%), Oxyuris equi (81%), Parascaris equorum (>90%), and small strongyles (>90%).

Presentation: Available in 20 mL syringes.
