MERCK Safe-Guard paste 25g syringe 10% fenbendazole

Details

Safe-Guard Paste 10% w/w is a fenbendazole (100 mg/g) oral paste for horses in a 25 g graduated syringe, listed in the Health Canada Drug Product Database under DIN 02069490 (Intervet Canada Corp., marketed as Merck Animal Health). The Canadian label describes it as being "For the treatment of infections caused by the following internal parasites in horses." The label lists: "Large strongyles (adults): Strongylus vulgaris, S. equinus, S. edentatus and Triodontophorus spp. Small strongyles (luminal adults and fourth stage larvae): Cyathostomum spp., Cylicocyclus spp. and Cylicostephanus spp. Ascarids (adults): Parascaris equorum. Pinworms (adults): Oxyuris equi." It adds that the product "is indicated for the treatment of equine larval cyathostomosis induced by the encysted early third stage (hypobiotic EL3), late third stage (LL3) and fourth stage (L4) larvae of cyathostomes (small strongyles)." Dose, from the label: "5 mg of fenbendazole per kg of body weight. This is equivalent to one syringe per 500 kg (1100 lb)." For young horses: "Foals and young horses under 18 months of age require a dose of 10 mg of fenbendazole per kg body weight for the treatment of ascarid infections" — "At this dosage, the contents of one syringe will treat a 250 kg (550 lb) foal." For larval cyathostomosis the label says to "administer this product at a daily dosage of 10 mg of fenbendazole per kg of body weight during five consecutive days." To give it: "Set the dial ring at the graduation nearest the weight of the horse" and "Insert nozzle of syringe through the interdental space and deposit the paste at the base of the tongue by depressing the plunger." Warnings and storage, quoted: "This drug is not to be administered to horses that are to be slaughtered for use in food. Keep out of reach of children." "Store at room temperature, below 25 °C. Keep from freezing." The Canadian registration is for horses; the label does not list cattle, goats or other species for this paste.
