Instructions To Use Panacur Worming Paste

Directions for use:

• To prepare the Panacur Oral Paste for the first use, remove the syringe tip and turn the dial ring until the edge of the ring nearest the tip lines up with the zero (0) on the tube.
• Depress the plunger and discard any expelled paste. Discard any unused paste into a tissue and immediately dispose of it via the household waste.
• The syringe is ready for use. The plunger has graduations, each unit corresponding to 50 mg fenbendazole.
• Weigh your cat and determine the number of graduations needed for dosing. Assess the bodyweight as accurately as possible before calculating the dosage.
• Turn the ring on the plunger to the corresponding graduation.
• Administer the paste orally by squeezing the paste from the syringe onto the back of your cat’s tongue after feeding.

For adult cats:

• Orally administer 2 syringe graduations per 2.2 lbs. (1 kg) of your cat’s body weight as a single dose (which equals 100 mg fenbendazole/kg bodyweight).
• Each syringe is sufficient to dose up to 19.84 lbs. (9 kg) bodyweight as a single dose.
• Repeat the treatment when natural re-infection with parasite worms occurs.
