"There are many different forms of panacure that are on the market... what I am not seeing here is a reference to the strength or percentage of the drug fenbenzadole in the panacure that is used"


Very true, there are indeed many forms of it, as well as strengths. That is why you have to calculate whichever form you are using to what equates to approx. 50mg/kg. for your snake. The percentage is on the bottle, pill, powder or paste container itself or the instructions that come with it.

In my earlier post I also mentioned that in the tube paste form of Panacur(Fendbendazole 10%)) I have here, 100 mg. of medication is in each gram of product. So of course 1/2 gram would be 50 mg. for a 2.2 lb.(1000 gram) snake (one kilo). You would still have to weigh the product to correlate with any given snake's weight.

one kilo (kilogram) = 1,000 grams, or 2.2046 lbs. 2.2 lbs.is plenty close enough.

There is no real way around using some simple math because the forms can all be different. I don't know if the "cc/ml" list they are giving is the very same as the paste or not, if it is, great, if not, it has to be adjusted accordingly.
