For the treatment and control of adult infestations of large and small redworms, ascarids and pinworms Embotape should be used at a dose rate of 19 mg pyrantel embonate per kg bodyweight. The complete content of one syringe contains 11.4g pyrantel embonate in 28.5g paste and is sufficient for the treatment of 600kg bodyweight. Each graduation of the syringe is sufficient for the treatment of 100kg bodyweight.

For the control and treatment of tapeworm Embotape should be used at a dose rate of 38mg pyrantel embonate per kg bodyweight (ie twice the dose used for strongyles). This means if using to cover tapeworm one graduation is sufficient for the treatment of 50kg. A 600kg horse would hence require two full syringes.
