Banex-LA


Generic Name: guaifenesin and phenylpropanolamine (gwye FEN e sin/fen ill proe pa NOLE a meen)

Brand Names: Ami-Tex LA, Banex-LA, Coldloc-LA, Dayquil Sinus Pressure and Congestion, Despec, Entex LA, Exgest LA, G-Vent, Guaifenex PPA 75, Guaivent, Guiatex LA, Naldecon-EX Pediatric, Nasahist LA, Phentex-LA, Phenylfenesin LA, Poly-Vent, Profen LA, Stamoist LA, Triaminic Expectorant, Vanex-LA


What is Banex-LA (guaifenesin and phenylpropanolamine)?

Guaifenesin is an expectorant. It is used to break up congestion and mucous to make breathing easier. Guaifenesin thins mucous, increases lubrication of the respiratory tract (lungs, nose and throat), and increases the removal of mucous.


Phenylpropanolamine is a decongestant. It constricts (shrinks) blood vessels (veins and arteries), which reduces swelling of mucous membranes in areas such as the nose and sinuses.


Guaifenesin and phenylpropanolamine is used to treat the symptoms of the common cold and of infections of the sinuses, lungs, and throat.


Phenylpropanolamine, an ingredient in this product, has been associated with an increased risk of hemorrhagic stroke (bleeding into the brain or into tissue surrounding the brain) in women. Men may also be at risk. Although the risk of hemorrhagic stroke is low, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) recommends that consumers not use any products that contain phenylpropanolamine.


Guaifenesin and phenylpropanolamine may also be used for purposes other than those listed in this medication guide.

RFD Wormer





Dosage Form: FOR ANIMAL USE ONLY
RFD®

(pyrantel pamoate)

LIQUID

WORMER

Easy to administer.



Indications and Usage


For the removal of large roundworms (Toxocara canis and Toxascaris leonina) and hookworms (Ancylostoma caninum and Uncinaria stenocephala) in dogs and puppies. The presence of these parasites should be confirmed by laboratory fecal exam. Consult your veterinarian for assistance in the diagnosis, treatment and control of parasitism.


RFD Liquid Wormer may also be used to prevent reinfestation of T. canis in puppies and adult dogs and in lactating bitches after whelping.


Shake Well Before Use


Active Ingredient: 2.27 mg of pyrantel base as pyrantel pamoate per mL.



Recommended Storage


Store below 30°C (86°F).



Warning


Keep out of reach of children.



Dosage and Administration


Administer 1 teaspoon (5 mL) for each 5 lb of body weight. To assure proper dosage, weigh animal prior to treatment. It is not necessary to withhold food prior to treatment. Dogs usually find this dewormer very palatable and will lick the dose from the bowl willingly. If there is reluctance to accept the dose, mix in a small quantity of dog food to encourage consumption. It is recommended that dogs maintained under conditions of constant exposure to worm infestation should have a follow-up fecal exam within 2–4 weeks after first treatment. If your dog looks or acts sick, consult your veterinarian before treatment.


For maximum control and prevention of reinfestation, it is recommended that puppies be treated at 2, 3, 4, 6, 8 and 10 weeks of age. Lactating bitches should be treated 2–3 weeks after whelping. Adult dogs kept in heavily contaminated quarters may be treated at monthly intervals to prevent T. canis reinfestation.
