Strongid P® Paste for Horses

This paste treats common intestinal parasites in horses. Strongid P® paste is an equine dewormer used to control roundworms, small strongyles, large strongyles, and pinworms. You can compare options, learn how it works, and see how to use it with US delivery from Canada, even if you pay without insurance. If you plan to get Strongid P online, the details below help you prepare and talk with your veterinarian.

What Strongid P Is and How It Works

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

Strongid P® contains pyrantel pamoate, a broad‑spectrum equine anthelmintic. It acts on parasite neuromuscular receptors to cause paralysis, which allows the horse’s gut to clear susceptible worms. This medicine helps remove adult and immature stages of several nematodes, including Parascaris (ascarids), Strongylus species (large strongyles), cyathostomins (small strongyles), and Oxyuris equi (pinworms). A higher, veterinarian‑directed dose is used for tapeworm control. Use this treatment within a strategic deworming plan supported by fecal egg counts.

This page summarizes label-aligned information. Always follow your veterinarian’s directions and the product insert for your horse.

Who It’s For

This treatment is intended for horses and foals when a prescriber recommends pyrantel therapy. It may be used in adult horses, performance horses, and broodmares when appropriate. Foals and young stock are often at higher risk for ascarids; your veterinarian may tailor timing accordingly. Do not use in animals with known hypersensitivity to pyrantel components. If your horse is severely debilitated, ill, or under intensive care, seek veterinary guidance before dosing.

Dosage and Usage

Follow the label and your veterinarian’s plan. The calibrated oral syringe is set to the horse’s body weight. Deliver the paste onto the back of the tongue, then briefly raise the head to ensure swallowing. Offer a small amount of feed or a treat after dosing only if your veterinarian allows it, and confirm the horse did not spit out the paste.

For routine nematode control, a single labeled dose is typically used. When tapeworms are targeted, your veterinarian may instruct a Strongid P double dose according to the insert. Do not guess weight; use a weight tape or scale for accuracy. Deworming intervals and rotation depend on fecal egg counts, season, and local resistance patterns; your prescriber will advise.

Strengths and Forms

This product is supplied as an oral paste in a weight-marked syringe for single-horse administration. The active ingredient is presented as pyrantel pamoate paste for horses. Packaging and syringe volume can vary by manufacturer and market. Availability may differ by region and partner pharmacy stock.

Missed Dose and Timing

If a scheduled dose was planned and you miss it, give the next dose when remembered unless the timing overlaps with the next planned interval. Do not administer back-to-back doses without veterinary direction. If the horse spits out part of the dose, contact your veterinarian for advice on whether to redose. Strategic deworming often uses a seasonal schedule informed by fecal testing.

Storage and Travel Basics

Store syringes at typical room temperature per the label. Protect from excessive heat, freezing, and direct sunlight. Keep the cap secured and the product in the original carton until use. Do not allow children or other animals to access the syringe. When traveling, carry the labeled carton or a copy of the prescription, as applicable, and pack the paste where it will not be crushed. Our partners use encrypted checkout and temperature-controlled handling when required.

Benefits

This class offers broad activity against common equine nematodes. The calibrated syringe helps match dose to weight for practical barn use. The paste format is designed for oral administration without feed withholding. Many prescribers value its role within rotation programs and for young horses at risk for ascarids. When directed, its flexibility can also support tapeworm control within a targeted plan.

Side Effects and Safety

Most horses tolerate this medicine well. Possible effects can include transient soft stools, mild colic signs, or decreased appetite shortly after dosing. Oral dosing carries a small risk of gagging or paste loss if the horse resists administration. Hypersensitivity reactions are rare but require immediate veterinary attention.

• GI upset: soft stool or mild discomfort
• Transient decreased appetite
• Paste loss if not swallowed
• Allergic reaction: uncommon but serious

Serious concerns are uncommon. However, call a veterinarian right away for signs such as persistent colic, severe diarrhea, hives, facial swelling, or difficulty breathing. Horses carrying heavy parasite burdens may occasionally show increased signs as worms are expelled; monitoring is recommended.

Drug Interactions and Cautions

Do not combine pyrantel with piperazine, as they may counteract each other’s effects. Use caution in severely debilitated or underweight horses. Discuss all recent treatments, including other dewormers, antibiotics, or supplements, with your prescriber. If the horse has a history of choking or oral trauma, ask about safe administration techniques. For parasite protection in other species, see our pet category resources such as Revolution Plus for context.

What to Expect Over Time

After dosing, susceptible worms are paralyzed and cleared through the GI tract. You may not always see worms in manure. Your clinician may recommend a fecal egg count reduction test to evaluate effectiveness and guide future timing. Over the year, targeted treatments and pasture management can help reduce reinfection. Keep records of dates, products used, and weights to support informed decisions at the next visit.

Compare With Alternatives

Veterinarians may also recommend ivermectin pastes, fenbendazole, or combinations that include praziquantel for tapeworm control. Each option has a different spectrum and role in rotation based on fecal testing and local guidance. If your plan emphasizes tapeworms, ask whether Strongid P for tapeworm or another class best fits the season and your horse’s risk.

Availability and Substitutions

Pharmacy teams dispense the specific product written or an appropriate equivalent when a prescriber authorizes it. We do not guarantee restock dates; check the product page for updates.

Patient Suitability and Cost-Saving Tips

Horses needing routine nematode control or targeted tapeworm therapy may be candidates for this treatment. It may be used in many adult horses and foals when appropriate. Animals with known hypersensitivity to pyrantel should avoid it. For barns managing several horses, discuss multi-month planning and synchronize fecal testing to optimize timing.

To save over time, ask your prescriber about seasonally timed dosing, weight-accurate administration, and coordinated orders. Consider setting calendar reminders for fecal checks and upcoming treatments. Buying enough for the planned interval can reduce repeat fulfilment. Compare options within Intestinal Worms and Tapeworms resources to better understand coverage.
