Veterinarians consider Panacur (fenbendazole) equine paste for horses with large strongyles, small strongyles (including encysted cyathostome larvae at the higher 5-day dose), pinworms and ascarids, and for control of arteritis caused by migrating Strongylus vulgaris larvae, based on fecal testing or a deworming program.
At a pharmacological level, fenbendazole is a benzimidazole anthelmintic that binds to a structural protein (beta-tubulin) inside parasite cells, disrupting the parasite's internal structure and glucose uptake. Your veterinarian determines the appropriate dose and duration (a single dose for general strongyle control, or 5 consecutive daily doses for encysted larvae) based on your horse's fecal exam findings and deworming history.
The actions described here reflect the product's FDA-approved labeling; your veterinarian determines the appropriate use for your animal.
This is an over-the-counter product. Use according to the product labeling and your veterinarian's guidance. Available through Mixlab.
In FDA-reviewed safety studies, no adverse effects were seen even at doses well above the labeled dose or with repeated daily dosing; at higher doses used against heavy parasite burdens, a local or systemic hypersensitivity-type reaction can occur as parasites die off, so your veterinarian may recommend monitoring during the 5-day encysted-larvae protocol. This product has been evaluated as safe for use in pregnant mares and breeding stallions at labeled doses. Contact your veterinarian if you notice colic-like signs, lethargy or reduced appetite during or after treatment.
No. Panacur paste is an FDA-approved over-the-counter dewormer for horses and doesn't require a prescription to purchase. Mixlab recommends working with your veterinarian on a deworming program based on fecal egg counts to help manage parasite resistance.
Yes. While Panacur is available as a commercial paste, Mixlab can compound fenbendazole into alternative formats if your veterinarian determines a customized preparation would better suit your horse's needs.
Dose depends on the parasites being targeted — a single dose for general strongyle control, or 5 consecutive daily doses for encysted small strongyle larvae. Your veterinarian will specify the dose and duration for your horse based on fecal testing and deworming history.
Panacur has been evaluated as safe for use in pregnant mares and breeding stallions at labeled doses, but your veterinarian should confirm it fits your horse's specific deworming program.
