**'''Panacur Equine Oral Paste:''' 10mg/kg PO.  It is recommended that horses and ponies are routinely wormed with a single dose of this product every 6 to 8 weeks.  It is recommended that horses are administered the 5-day Panacur treatment in the Autumn (ideally late October/November) and again in the Spring (ideally in February) to cover for encysted small redworms.  All new horses whose worming history is unknown should also be administered the 5-day Panacur treatment.  Pregnant mares and young foals may also be safely treated with Panacur at the recommended dosage levels.  Not to be used in horses intended for human consumption.  In the case of foals that have not been on a controlled programme or if a large burden is suspected it hasbeen suggested that fenbendazole be given at a lower and less efficacious dose of 5mg/kg PO (only 50% efficacy against ''Parasacaris''), followed one week later by a full dose at 10mg/kg PO.
