NOAH Compendium of Animal Medicines: Exodus Oral Paste

Exodus Oral Paste

Dosage and administration

One syringe per 600 kg bodyweight as a single oral dose (which is equivalent to one syringe mark per 100 kg bodyweight).

Increased dosing for treatment of Tapeworm infections

Double the routine dose rate and administer on a single occasion, i.e. two syringes per 600 kg bodyweight as a single oral dose (which is equivalent to two syringe marks per 100 kg bodyweight). Assess bodyweight as accurately as possible before calculating the dosage. The use of a ‘weigh band’ is recommended. Administer the paste by squeezing from the syringe onto the back of the horse’s tongue. Raising the horses head sometimes assists in the swallowing process.

Recommended dosing programmes

During the grazing season, all horses over 8 months of age should be wormed with Exodus every 4-6 weeks. For the remainder of the year, horses should be wormed with Exodus every 6-8 weeks.

New horses and horses which have spent the winter inside, should be wormed with Exodus and then kept in for 3-4 days before turnout.
