Norodine Equine Oral Paste 45g

POM-V (Prescription Required)

Norodine Equine Oral Paste is a prescription antibiotic for horses. It is designed to help treat bacterial infections when your vet decides this product is appropriate. The paste is easy to give by mouth and allows accurate dosing based on your horse’s weight.

Benefits of Norodine Equine Oral Paste

• Helps treat infections caused by susceptible bacteria in horses

• Combines two antibiotics in one product for a potentiated effect

• Oral paste format that is straightforward to administer

• Supplied as 3 x 45g syringes for convenient course planning

• Used as part of a complete treatment plan set by your vet

When infection is brought under control, many horses show better comfort, improved appetite and a more normal demeanour.

How Norodine Equine Oral Paste works

Norodine Equine Oral Paste contains two active ingredients that work together as a potentiated sulphonamide. They both act on the bacterial folic acid pathway at different points.

By blocking this pathway, the product:

• Helps stop bacteria from growing and multiplying

• Supports the horse’s immune system in clearing the infection

• Reduces the bacterial load at affected sites

Because Norodine Equine Oral Paste is an antibiotic, it should only be used when your vet believes a bacterial infection is present and this product is suitable.

How Norodine Equine Oral Paste is given

Always follow your vet’s written instructions and the label on the packaging. General guidance includes:

• Give Norodine Equine Oral Paste by mouth using the supplied syringe

• Set the dose on the syringe plunger according to your vet’s directions

• Place the syringe in the side of the mouth, over the back of the tongue

• Depress the plunger and allow the horse time to swallow

Your vet will tell you:

• How many times per day to give the paste

• How many days the course should last

• Whether to give it on its own or with a small amount of feed

If a dose is missed or spat out, contact your vet for advice. Do not give extra paste unless your vet tells you to.

Part of a wider treatment plan

Norodine Equine Oral Paste is usually only one part of your horse’s treatment. Your vet may also recommend:

• Rest or controlled exercise

• Good hydration and appropriate feed

• Management changes such as better ventilation or yard hygiene

• Wound care or other local treatments if needed

Following the whole plan helps give your horse the best chance of a full and steady recovery.

Responsible antibiotic use

Responsible use of antibiotics is very important. With Norodine Equine Oral Paste:

• Use only for the horse named on the prescription

• Give the full course unless your vet advises a change

• Do not share syringes with other horses

• Do not use leftover paste for new problems without speaking to your vet

This helps reduce the risk of antibiotic resistance and keeps treatments effective for the future.
