Disclaimer: This dosage information is provided by the manufacturer. Always consult your veterinarian before administering or adjusting any supplement for your pet.

Administration Instructions

Prepare the Syringe: Take the cap off carefully so the paste is ready for accurate dosing.

Position the Syringe: Place the nozzle at the corner of your horse’s mouth for safe and smooth delivery.

Administer the Paste: Push the plunger while directing the syringe toward the back of the tongue to release the paste.

Ensure Proper Swallowing: Giving it this way helps prevent the horse from spitting out the paste and ensures the full dose is swallowed.

Assist Swallowing if Needed: Gently lift the horse’s head a little if swallowing seems difficult for easier ingestion.

Store Remaining Paste: If there’s any paste left, put the cap back on tightly to keep it fresh and usable.

Directions for Use

Single Oral Dose: Administer Strongid Paste as a single oral dose of 3 mg pyrantel per pound.

Use Weight Marks: The syringe includes four weight mark increments for accurately measuring the correct dosage.

Dose per Weight: Each weight mark corresponds to the recommended amount for 300 pounds of horse body weight.

Ensure Accurate Dosing: Follow weight marks carefully to provide the appropriate dose and avoid underdosing or overdosing.

Adjust for Body Weight: Calculate total dose based on the horse’s current body weight before administration for effectiveness.

For maximum control of parasitism:

Foal Dosing Schedule: Keep your foals healthy by giving Strongid Paste every four weeks from 2–8 months old. Consistency is key to keeping parasites under control.

Treat Mare Before Foaling: Give the mare a dose about one month before she’s expected to foal. This helps reduce the risk of passing parasites to the newborn.

Retreat Mare After Foaling: Treat the mare again 10 days to two weeks after the foal is born. It’s a simple step to keep the whole family safe.

Adult Horse Dosing: For horses and ponies over eight months, routine dosing every six weeks helps maintain a healthy gut and energy levels.

Stay Consistent: Following this schedule regularly keeps parasite numbers low, protects your horses’ digestive health, and helps them thrive over time.

Additional Information

Storage Instruction

Recommended Storage Conditions: Store Strongid Paste at a controlled room temperature from 15° to 25°C (59°–77°F) consistently.

Possible Side Effects

Parasite Resistance Risk: Over time, parasites can become resistant to any dewormer, which may make treatments less effective if not managed properly.

Reduced Effectiveness: Using the same dewormer repeatedly might reduce its power, making future treatments work less well for your horses.

Keep an Eye on Results: Regular fecal checks or other simple tests help you know if the treatment is working as it should.

Update Your Plan: Adjust parasite control strategies based on test results to make sure resistance doesn’t build up in your herd.

Think About Location: Use dewormers based on the types of parasites common in your area to slow resistance from developing.

Check the Whole Herd: Looking at your herd’s treatment history helps ensure the dewormer is safe and effective for every horse.

Follow Up After Treatment: Testing after dosing helps catch early signs of resistance so you can act before it becomes a bigger problem.
