Particularly with higher doses, the lethal action of fenbendazole may cause the release of antigens by the dying parasites. This phenomenon may result in either a local or systemic hypersensitivity reaction. As with any drug, these reactions should be treated symptomatically.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"Body\"\u003eSafe-Guard\u003csup class=\"SUPERScript\"\u003e®\u003c\/sup\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003ePaste 10% has been evaluated for safety in pregnant mares during all stages of gestation with doses as high as 11.4 mg\/lb (25 mg\/kg) and in stallions with doses as high as 11.4 mg\/lb (25 mg\/kg).

Treatment with a dewormer used in conjunction with parasite management practices appropriate to the geographic area and the animal(s) to be treated may slow the development of parasite resistance. Fecal examinations or other diagnostic tests and parasite management history should be used to determine if the product is appropriate for the herd, prior to the use of any dewormer.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"Body\"\u003eFollowing the use of any dewormer, effectiveness of treatment should be monitored (for example, with the use of a fecal egg count reduction test or another appropriate method). A decrease in a drug’s effectiveness over time as calculated by fecal egg count reduction tests may indicate the development of resistance to the dewormer administered. Your parasite management plan should be adjusted accordingly based on regular monitoring.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThis item cannot be shipped to California. \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Merck Animal Health","offers":[{"title":"25 gm","offer_id":46565808963742,"sku":null,"price":12.29,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"92 gm","offer_id":46565808996510,"sku":null,"price":41.59,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0401\/2186\/0254\/files\/12526-1.jpg?v=1772125256","url":"https:\/\/houlihansaddlery.com\/products\/safe-guard-equine-dewormer","provider":"Houlihan Saddlery LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
