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 agents 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
