This invention provides for, inter alia, oral homogeneous veterinary pastes
for the treating, controlling and preventing of endo- and ectoparasite infections
in warm-blooded animals or birds, such as horses and household pets. This invention
further provides for a process of preparing these veterinary pastes and for a method
for increasing the bioavailability of the anthelmintic agent contained in the paste
in the warm-blooded animal or bird. The inventive oral homogeneous anthelmintic
pastes comprise a first anthelmintic agent, for example, prazequantel and/or pyrantel,
and at least one marcrolide anthelmintic compound, a solvent, which dissolves both
the first anthelmintic agent and second the macrolide anthelmintic compound, and
a thickening agent. The inventive oral homogeneous pastes achieve a better bioavailability
of the two active anthelmintic agents than when the two actives are in suspension
and not dissolved
