Continuex

Product Description:

Experts recommend dosing a horse with a larvacidal dewormer such as ivermectin before beginning administration of a daily dewormer, to help destroy existing larvae and adult parasites. Experts also recommend horses receive ivermectin once or twice per year to control bots AND praziquantel or TapeCare Plus once or twice per year to control tapeworms.

  For the prevention of Strongylus vulgaris larval infections in horses. For control of the following parasites in horses: LARGE STRONGYLES (adults) - S. vulgaris, S. edentatus, Triodontophorus spp. SMALL STRONGYLES (adults and fourth stage larvae) - Cyathostomum spp., Cylicocyclus spp., Cylicostephanus spp., Cylicodontophorus spp., Poteriostomum spp. PINWORMS (adults and fourth stage larvae) - Oxyuris equi ASCARIDS (adults and fourth stage larvae) - Parascaris equorum

Instructions:

Continuex (pyrantel tartrate) is to be administered on a continuous basis in the horse's daily grain ration at the rate of 1.2 mg pyrantel tartrate per pound of body weight daily. To achieve this dose administer 0.5 oz of Continuex per 250 lb. of body weight. Continuex should be administered for the entire period that the animal is at risk to internal parasites. Unprotected animals that have grazed may have already established S. vulgaris larval infection. Before administering Continuex, these animals should be treated with a therapeutic dose of a larvicidal product. Foals may be administered Continuex as soon as consistent intake of grain mix is occurring. This is generally between two to three months of age. Continuex may be used in mares at any stage of pregnancy or lacation. Stallion fertility is not affected by the use of Continuex.

Precautions:

Caution: Consult your veterinarian before using in severly debilitated animals and for assistance in the diagnosis, treatment and control of parasitism. Do not mix in feeds containing bentonite if you need to keep track of the level of pyrantel tartrate in your horse. Do not mix in feeds containing bentonite. Bentonite is a binding agent that is used in small amounts in many horse feeds and also sometimes in supplements, especially those that are pelleted. According to Pfizer (the manufacturer of the popular Strongid daily wormer) the warnings against feeding a daily wormer in conjunction with a product containing Bentonite, stem not from any contraindications or toxicities, but from the fact that Bentonite can skew the ability to analyze Pyrantel Tartrate levels (the active ingredient in daily wormers) in feeds. Bentonite will actually mask the amount of Pyrantel Tartrate in feed when Feed Mills and Graineries assay it to make sure that the levels are correct. They take samples of feed to make sure that the appropriate amount of Pyrantel Tartrate has been mixed into it and Bentonite can mask its presence. The manufacturer’s research shows that Bentonite does not have an impact on the horse’s ability to absorb Pyrantel Tartrate. Warning: Do not use in horses intended for food. Store at controlled room temperature 15 - 30 C (59 - 86 F).
