Active ingredients
Pyrantel pamoate 21.62 mg/g (equivalent to 7.5 mg/g of pyrantel base).
Directions
It is indicated for the treatment and prevention of roundworm and hookworm infestations in puppies and adult dogs.
Dosage
14.5 mg of pyrantel pamoate equivalent to 5 mg of pyrantel base per kg of the dog's body weight. Administration: For ease of use, the following dosage is recommended depending on the packaging used. 16 g syringe: one syringe mark for every 2 kg of body weight. 10 g tube and 24 g tube: two cm of paste for every kg of body weight. It should be administered in a single dose, without keeping the dog fasting or following a specific diet. Nemex's palatability allows it to be spread directly into the dog's mouth or, in the case of unsociable animals, mixed with food. Prophylaxis: Prophylaxis is used to keep the dog free of worms and prevent the risk of infestation for humans (especially children) from dogs with worms. Furthermore, prophylactic treatment allows the dog to: be more resistant to other diseases; tolerate fatigue better, resulting in better performance; have a more alert sense of smell; have a better overall appearance, particularly a shinier coat. Prevention program: 1. Puppies: one treatment at 10-14 days of age, to be repeated between the 4th and 8th week of age. It is especially important to remember the primary importance of pre-vaccination treatment, as the presence of parasites can interfere with the establishment of a solid vaccine immunity. 2. Females: one treatment 15 days before mating; a second treatment one week before giving birth; a third treatment 4 weeks after giving birth. This series of treatments aims to prevent infestation of puppies during pregnancy and subsequently, after giving birth, through colostrum and milk sucked from the mother during the first days of life. 3. Show dogs: one treatment 15-20 days before the show. 4. Hunting dogs: One treatment 15-20 days before the hunting season. 5. All other dogs: One treatment in early spring, repeated in early fall. Treatment for roundworm and hookworm infestations: Treatment should be administered immediately whenever the presence of parasites is confirmed and repeated after 2-3 weeks.
