Mixing and Feeding Directions
Continuex (pyrantel tartrate) is to be administered on a continuous basis either as a top-dress or mixed in the horse's daily grain ration at the rate of 1.2 mg pyrantel tartrate per pound of body weight daily. To achieve this dose administer 0.5 oz. of Continuex per 250 lbs. of body weight. (A Continuex measuring cup is enclosed.) Continuex should be administered for the entire period that the animal is at risk to internal parasites. Unprotected animals that have grazed may have already established S. vulgaris larval infection. Before administering Continuex, these animals should be treated with a therapeutic dose of a larvicidal wormer.
Foals may be administered Continuex as soon as consistent intake of grain mix is occurring. This is generally between two to three months of age. Continuex may be used in mares at any stage of pregnancy or lactation. Stallion fertility is not affected by the use of Continuex.
