Panacur® Paste for Horses

Panacur Paste is a fenbendazole dewormer for horses and foals. This guide covers how it works, who it suits, dosing basics, and safety, with US delivery from Canada. You can purchase without insurance.

What Panacur Is and How It Works

Panacur® Paste contains fenbendazole, a benzimidazole anthelmintic used in horses. It targets adult and larval stages of common equine gastrointestinal parasites. Intestinal Worms can impact weight, coat quality, and performance. Fenbendazole Paste binds to parasite microtubules and interferes with energy processes, which can lead to parasite death and clearance via the stool.

Border Free Health connects U.S. patients with licensed Canadian partner pharmacies; prescriptions are verified with prescribers before dispensing.

This medicine is typically well tolerated. It is given by mouth using a calibrated syringe that helps match the dose to body weight. The treatment can be used as part of a rotational deworming plan guided by your veterinarian and local fecal egg count data.

Who It’s For

This treatment is intended for horses and foals as directed by a veterinarian. It may be appropriate for adult horses on pasture, broodmares, and young stock when parasites are identified or preventive control is recommended. Animals with known hypersensitivity to benzimidazoles should avoid it. Horses that are ill, severely debilitated, or under intensive care should be evaluated by a veterinarian before any deworming program.

Use in pregnant or lactating mares is commonly described as acceptable in many labels; confirm with your veterinarian for your specific program. If your horse has colic signs or another acute condition, seek veterinary advice before administering any dewormer.

Dosage and Usage

Follow the label and your veterinarian’s directions for weight-based dosing. Panacur Equine Paste is administered by mouth using the dosing ring to set the correct amount based on body weight. After setting the ring, place the nozzle at the corner of the mouth, aim over the tongue, and depress the plunger to deliver the paste. Allow the horse to swallow; briefly raising the head can help.

Give the full dose on the schedule your veterinarian recommends. Some programs use single-day treatment; others use multi-day courses for certain parasite stages. Do not split a single-day dose over multiple days unless instructed. Avoid feeding immediately before dosing if your veterinarian recommends dosing on an empty mouth to reduce feed loss of the paste. Provide fresh water as usual.

For herd management, coordinate dosing across stablemates to reduce reinfection pressure. Pair deworming with pasture hygiene and periodic fecal egg counts.

Strengths and Forms

This paste is typically supplied in oral syringes with calibrated markings for equine body weight. Common presentations include 18.75 g and 25 g syringes. Many labels list a 10% fenbendazole concentration; availability can vary by jurisdiction and supplier. Check the specific product carton for exact contents and markings.

Fenbendazole Paste for Horses may also come in other formulations under the same active ingredient class. Availability of tube sizes and accessories can differ based on source and timing.

Missed Dose and Timing

If a scheduled dose is missed, administer it when remembered, unless the next planned time is near. In that case, resume the normal schedule without doubling up. Consistent timing supports the success of the deworming plan. If vomiting, spitting out, or loss of paste is suspected, contact your veterinarian about whether to repeat the dose.

Storage and Travel Basics

Store the paste at room temperature as indicated on the label, away from extreme heat or freezing. Keep the cap on the syringe until use, and protect from moisture and direct sunlight. Always store out of reach of children and animals. When traveling, place the syringe in a sealable bag or case to prevent plunger movement and contamination. Carry the carton or a photo of the label for reference. Our fulfilment uses temperature-controlled handling when required.

Benefits

This benzimidazole class medicine is valued for broad-spectrum activity against many common equine gastrointestinal parasites. The calibrated syringe helps match dose to weight. Oral administration is straightforward and does not require feed mixing or injections. For heavy parasite burdens, veterinarians may recommend targeted programs to address encysted stages or specific species.

PowerPac Wormer for Horses is a regimen term often used by professionals for certain multi-day protocols using this ingredient class. Your veterinarian can advise whether such an approach is suitable for your horse based on fecal testing and clinical history.

Side Effects and Safety

• Mild, temporary soft stool
• Brief change in appetite
• Salivation during dosing
• Retching or paste expulsion

Serious effects are uncommon. Rarely, horses may show signs related to parasite die-off, such as transient colic-like discomfort. Hypersensitivity reactions are possible in any animal medicine; stop use and contact a veterinarian if swelling, hives, or breathing difficulty occurs. Use only as directed on the label or by a veterinarian. Keep all dewormers away from pets and children.

Drug Interactions and Cautions

Fenbendazole typically has low interaction potential. However, always inform your veterinarian about other medicines, supplements, or herbal products your horse receives. Exercise caution in severely debilitated horses or those with known drug sensitivities. If your program includes other recent dewormers, your veterinarian may sequence treatments based on fecal results and local resistance patterns rather than combining on the same day.

What to Expect Over Time

After appropriate dosing, parasites may be expelled, sometimes visible in the manure. Stool consistency might change briefly. Over weeks, many horses show steadier weight and improved coat condition as part of a comprehensive care plan. Your veterinarian may recommend repeat fecal egg counts to evaluate the program. Keeping a simple log of doses and fecal results helps track progress across seasons.

Compare With Alternatives

Veterinarians also use other equine dewormers, including ivermectin, moxidectin, and pyrantel pamoate. Choice depends on target parasites, local resistance data, and the horse’s age and health. If you prefer a water-medicated option, consider Panacur® Aquasol as an alternative formulation. For feed-top dress approaches, many owners discuss granule products with their veterinarian; see Panacur Granules for a different presentation.

Patient Suitability and Cost-Saving Tips

This dewormer is often suitable for many horses when used under veterinary guidance. Foals, pregnant mares, and performance horses may still be candidates, but always confirm for your specific stable plan. For savings, consider multi-month planning with your veterinarian to align fecal testing and dosing windows. Ordering more than one tube per program can reduce repeated fulfilment costs and help maintain continuity. Set calendar reminders for seasonal dosing and fecal checks.

Questions to Ask Your Clinician

• Target parasites: Which species are most common in our area?
• Program design: Single dose or multi-day regimen this season?
• Monitoring: When should we repeat fecal egg counts?
• Herd approach: How should stablemates be managed together?
• Safety: Any cautions for foals, pregnant mares, or seniors?
• Rotation: When should we rotate to a different dewormer class?
