Comparison of Pyrantel Tartrate (Strongid C) and Pyrantel Pamoate (3 x Strongid) for the Control of Equine Tapeworms
نویسندگان
چکیده
As measured by the number of tapeworm eggs per gram of feces, pyrantel tartrate, fed on a daily basis (Strongid C), was more effective in eliminating tapeworms than was 33 pyrantel pamoate (Strongid) administered at 8-week intervals.a Horses treated with pyrantel tartrate had an egg count of zero tapeworms by 4 weeks following the initiation of treatment. Horses treated with 33 pyrantel pamoate continued to pass tapeworm eggs for 10 weeks following the initiation of treatment. r 1998 AAEP.

INTESTINAL AND LUNGWORM PARASITE CONTROL Intestinal parasites affecting donkeys are similar to those that affect horses. These include nematodes (large and small strongyles, ascarids, pinworms), bots, and Cestodes (tapeworms). Basic principles of parasite control are the same as for larger equines. Medications used with success in donkeys include fenbendazole, ivermectin, albendazole, and pyran...

1. Morantel (1,4,5,6-tetrahydro-1-methyl-2-[2-(3-methyl-2-thienyl)ethenyl pyrimidine) is a tetrahydro-pyrimidine anthelmintic, differing from the related analogue pyrantel by the presence of a methyl group on the thiophene ring. It is intended to treat roundworms and tapeworms. It is administered in lactating and non lactating cattle as morantel tartrate as a slow-release bolus (11.8 g morantel...
