    Pyrid 2x
    (pyrantel pamoate oral suspension)
    Canine Anthelmintic Suspension

    NOT FOR USE IN HUMANS

    DESCRIPTION: Pyrid 2x liquid wormer is a suspension of pyrantel pamoate in a palatable
    butterscotch flavored vehicle. Each mL contains 4.54 mg of pyrantel base as pyrantel pamoate.

    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

    INDICATIONS AND USAGE: Pyrid 2x suspension is a highly palatable formulation intended as a
    single treatment for the removal of large roundworms (Toxocara canis and Toxascaris leonina) and
    hookworms (Ancylostoma caninum and Uncinaria stenocephala) in dogs and puppies. The presence
    of these parasites should be confirmed by laboratory fecal exam. Consult your veterinarian for
    assistance in the diagnosis, treatment, and control of parasitism.

    Pyrid 2x suspension may also be used to prevent reinfestation of T.canis in puppies and adult dogs
    and in lactating bitches after whelping.

  • PRECAUTIONS SECTION

    PRECAUTIONS: THIS PRODUCT IS A SUSPENSION AND AS SUCH WILL SEPARATE. TO ENSURE
    UNIFORM RESUSPENSION AND TO ACHIEVE PROPER DOSAGE, IT IS EXTREMELY IMPORTANT THAT
    THE PRODUCT BE SHAKEN THOROUGHLY BEFORE EVERY USE.
    KEEP OUT OF REACH OF CHILDREN

  • DOSAGE AND ADMINISTRATION Section

    DOSAGE AND ADMINISTRATION: Administer 1 teaspoon (5 mL) for each 10 lb of body weight. It is
    not necessary to withhold food prior to or after treatment. Dogs usually find this dewormer very
    palatable and will lick the dose from the bowl willingly. If there is reluctance to accept the dose, mix
    in a small quantity of dog food to encourage consumption. It is recommended that dogs maintained
    under conditions of constant exposure to worm infestation should have a follow-up fecal exam
    within 2-4 weeks after treatment.

    For maximum control and prevention of reinfestation, it is recommended that puppies be treated at
    2, 3, 4, 6, 8, and 10 weeks of age. Lactating bitches should be treated 2-3 weeks after whelping. Adult
    dogs kept in heavily contaminated quarters may be treated at monthly intervals to prevent T. canis
    reinfestation.

  • SAFETY AND EFFICACY STUDIES SECTION

    SAFETY AND EFFICACY STUDIES: Critical (worm count) studies in dogs demonstrated that
    pyrantel pamoate at the recommended dosage is highly efficacious against T. leonina (99%),
    T. canis (85%), A. caninum (97%), and U. stenocephala (94%).

    One of the most outstanding and significant features of pyrantel pamoate is its wide margin
    of therapeutic safety in dogs. The acute oral LD(50) of pyrantel pamoate administered in
    gelatin capsules to female and male dogs is greater than 314 mg base per lb of body weight,
    which indicates a therapeutic index in excess of 138 times the recommended dosage. In
    subacute and chronic studies, no significant morphological abnormalities could be attributed
    to pyrantel pamoate when administered to dogs at daily dose rates up to 94 mg base per
    pound of body weight (40x) for periods of 19, 30, and 90 days. Clinical studies conducted in a
    wide variety of geographic locations using more than 40 different breeds of dogs showed no
    drug-induced toxic effects. Included in these studies were nursing pups, weaned pups,
    adults, pregnant bitches, and males at stud.

    Additional data has demonstrated the safe use of pyrantel pamoate in dogs having heartworm
    infestations and/or receiving medication for heartworms, dogs exposed to organophosphate
    flea collars or flea/tick-dip treatments, and dogs undergoing concurrent treatment or medication
    at the time of worming such as immunization and antibacterial treatment.

    RECOMMENDED STORAGE: STORE BELOW 86° F (30° C). Keep Pyrid 2x in a secure location out
