The animal's mouth must be free of food. The syringe should be placed between the front and back teeth, and the paste should be deposited at the base of the tongue. Immediately elevate the head for a few seconds to ensure the product is swallowed.
EQUIMAX® Oral Gel Wormer for Horses 18.7mg/g + 140.3mg/g is given by mouth at the recommended dose rate of 200 micrograms of ivermectin and 1.5mg of praziquantel per kg of bodyweight as a single dose, corresponding to 1.07g of paste per 100kg bodyweight. The first syringe division delivers sufficient paste to treat 100kg of body weight. Each subsequent syringe division delivers enough paste to treat 50kg of body weight. The syringe delivers sufficient paste to treat 700kg bodyweight at the recommended dose rate.
To ensure the administration of a correct dose, body weight should be determined as accurately as possible; the accuracy of the dosing device should be checked as underdosing might lead to an increased risk of developing resistance to anthelmintic drugs.
Before administration, adjust the syringe to the calculated dosage by setting the ring on the plunger.
