Does what it says on the tin

Every year I have to treat my mare for a Pinworm problem and was advised that double dosing with Strongid is the best action to take. It works very effectively and I feel confident that they have been satisfactorily eradicated.

Below are some recent questions we've received regarding Strongid P Horse and Donkey Wormer, including answers from our team.
Col
Will this wormer kill tape worm and red worm
Is this the one I need for this month
It is recommended to use a wormer that will treat encysted redworm during the winter months. Equest/Equest Pramox or a 5 day course of Panacur will treat this. If you are worried about tapeworms then Equest Pramox is your best choice.
Strongid-P contains Pyrantel which is a great wormer and can be used to treat most worms at the normal dose and tapeworms at a double dose, however it will not cover encysted redworm so is not ideal for the winter.
I strongly advise reading our blog 'A Quick Guide To Horse Worming' for a summary of how and when to worm your horse. It's important to test before just worming anyway and to have a good plan in place for the year.

Will this wormer get rid of tapeworm?
This wormer will treat tapeworms if used at double the normal strength, as explained by the data sheet exert below:
Dosage: For the control and treatment of tapeworms: Strongid-P Paste
should be used at a dose rate of 38 mg pyrantel embonate per kg
bodyweight, that is twice the dose rate for strongyles.

How do I worm a lactating mare with a one month old foal with Strongid-P? Do both mare and foal get a dose each or if I give the mare a dose, will the foal receive some through the mare's milk?
You will need to dose the mare and foal separately according to their bodyweight. It is safe to give foals Strongid P from 4 weeks of age.

My horse is suffering with pinworm I have used Strongid p thelast two times as I find this expels them the best last time was a double dose in mid October can I do it again or should I use something else x I really need to try eradicate them they drive her mad xx
A Pyrantel based wormer such as Strongid P or Pyratape P is the best thing to use so you are doing the right thing. I would double dose with either one of these at 2 weekly intervals until you have eradicated the pinworm. Cleaning around her bottom daily will remove eggs laid by the adult worms overnight. You could also speak to your vet about an ivermectin and propylene glycol wash to apply around the bottom also.

Which is the most effective wormer against threadworm?
If you mean the neck threadworm (Onchocerca spp.) then Eqvalan is licensed to treat them and would be the usual choice. It is also theoretically helpful to try and reduce midges biting your horse, as they are responsible for transmitting this parasite. Good fly repellents based on a high concentration of DEET are probably the best. NAF Off DEET Power is a good example.
