PRECAUTIONS: Side effects associated with Safe-Guard Paste 10% could not be established in well-controlled safety studies in horses with single doses as high as 454 mg/lb. and 15 consecutive daily doses or 22.7 mg/lb. At higher dose levels, 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 hypersensitive reaction varying in severity from itching or a rash to increased respiration and collapse. A veterinarian should be consulted if this type of reaction is suspected. Safe- Guard Paste 10% has been evaluated for safety in pregnant mares during all stages of gestation with doses as high as 11.4 mg/lb and in stallions with doses as high as 11.4 mg/lb. The recommended dose for control of 4th stage larvae of Strongylus vulgaris, 4.6 mg/lb daily for 5 consecutive days, has not been evaluated for safety in stallions or pregnant mares. INTERNAL PARASITES: Regular deworming at intervals of six to eight weeks may be required due to the possibility of reinfection.

WARNING: Consult your veterinarian for assistance in the diagnosis, treatment and control or parasitism. Do not use in horses intended for food. Cattle must not be slaughtered within 8 days following last treatment.
