Mixing and Feeding directions:
Strongid® C is to be administered on a continuous basis
either as a top-dress or mixed in the horse's daily grain ration at the
rate of 1.2 mg pyrantel tartrate per lb of body weight daily. To
achieve this does, administer 1 oz of Strongid® C per 250 lb of body
weight. (A Strongid® c measuring cup is enclosed.) Strongid® C
should be administered for the entire period that the animal is at risk to
internal parasites. Unprotected animals that have grazed may already
have an established S. vulgaris larval infestation. Before
administering Strongid® C, these animals should be treated with a
therapeutic dose of a lavicidal product.
Foals may be administered
Strongid® C as soon as
consistent intake of grain mix is occurring. This is generally
between 2-3 months of age.
Strongid® c may be
used in mares at any stage of pregnancy or lactation. Stallion
fertility is not affected by the use of Strongid® C.
