DESCRIPTION: Exodus Paste (pyrantel pamoate) is a pale yellow to buff paste containing 43.9% w/w pyrantel pamoate in an inert vehicle. Each syringe contains 3.6 grams pyrantel base in 23.6 grams paste. Each milliliter contains 171 mg pyrantel base as pyrantel pamoate.

READ ENTIRE CARTON CAREFULLY BEFORE USING THIS PRODUCT.

COMPOSITION: 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.

CHEMICAL STRUCTURE:

CHEMICAL NAME: (E)-1,4,5,6-tetrahydro-1-methyl-2-[2-(2-thienyl)-vinyl]-pyrimidine 4,4' methylenebis [3-hydroxy-2-naptholate] (1:1)

DOSAGE AND TREATMENT: Pyrantel Paste (pyrantel pamoate) is to be adminitered as a single oral dose of 3 milligrams pytantel base per pound of body weight. The syringe has four weight mark increments. Each weight mark indicated the recommended dose for 300 pounds of body weight.

DOSAGE

3600 mg

NOTE: Position ring-gauge over appropriate mark on plunger.

For maximum control of parasitism it is recommended that foals(2-8 months of age) be dosed every 4 weeks. To minimize the potential source of infection that the mare may pose to the foal, the mare should be treated 1 month prior to anticipated foaling date by re-treating 10 days to 20 days after birth of the foal. Horses and ponies over 8 months of age should be routinely dosed every 6 weeks.

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

ADMINISTRATION:

After removing the cap, the paste should be deposited on the dorsum of the tongue. Introduce the nozzle end of the syringe at the corner of the mouth. Direct the syringe backward 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 horses head sometimes assists in the swallowing process. When only part of the paste has been used, replace the cap on the syringe nozzle.

EFFICACY: Critical (worm count) studies in horses demonstrated that pyrantel pamoate administered at the recommended dosage was efficacious against mature infection of Strongylus vulgaris (>90%), S.edentatus (69%), S.equinus (>90%), Oxyuris equi (81%), Parascaris equorum (>90%), and small strongyles (>90%).

WARNING: Do not use in horses intended for human consumption.
