Now you can protect your horse better than ever with an FDA approved all-in-one dewormer that combines ivermectin and praziquantel to rid horses of all major internal parasites, including tapeworms, in a single dose.
Broad-spectrum parasite protection is a key component of horse health, and the inclusion of tapeworms in the spectrum is one of the most important advances in deworming protocol to date. For too long, potentially life-threatening tapeworms have gone both undetected and untreated in horses across the country.
One syringe contains sufficient paste to treat one 1320-lb horse. Foals should be treated initially at 4 weeks of age. Safe for stallions. Equimax has been approved for pregnant mares!

INGREDIENTS: Ivermectin 1.87% / Praziquantel 14.03%
DOSAGE AND ADMINISTRATION: One syringe contains sufficient paste to treat one 1320 lb. horse at the recommended dose rate of 91 mcg ivermectin per lb (200 mcg/kg) and 0.68 mg praziquantel per lb. (1.5 mg/kg) of body weight. Each weight marking on the syringe plunger delivers enough paste to treat 220 lb. (100 kg) of body weight. 1) While holding plunger, turn the knurled ring on the plunger 1/4 turn to the left and slide it so the side nearest the barrel is at the prescribed weight marking. 2) Lock the ring in place by making a 1/4 turn to the right. 3) Make sure that the horse's mouth contains no feed. 4) Remove the cover from the tip of the syringe. 5) Insert the syringe tip into the horse's mouth at the space between the teeth. 6) Depress the plunger as far as it will go, depositing paste on the back of the tongue. 7) Immediately raise the hors head for a few seconds after dosing.
PARASITE CONTROL PROGRAM: All horses should be included in a regular parasite control program with particular attention being paid to mares, foals, and yearlings. Foals should be treated initially at 4 weeks to meet your specific needs. EQUIMAX effectively controls gastrointestinal nematodes, cestodes and bots of horses. Regular treatment will reduce the chances of colic caused by Anoplocephala perfoliata and verminous arteritis caused by Strongylus vulgaris.
PRODUCT ADVANTAGES: Broad-spectrum Control: EQUIMAX kills important internal parasites, including tapeworms, bots and the arterial stages of S. vulgaris, with a single dose. EQUIMAX contains two potent antiparasitic agents that are neither benzimidazoles nor organophosphates.
SAFETY: EQUIMAX may be used in horses 4 weeks of age and older. Stallions may be treated without adversely affecting their fertility. It is also approved for pregnant mares. In a tolerance study in which 3- to 4-week -old foals were treated at 10X once, loose watery stools were observed on post-treatment days 1, 2, and 5-9 in one foal. These signs resolved without treatment by day 10, and no other foals were affected.

NOTE TO USER: Swelling and itching reactions after treatment with ivermectin paste have occurred in horses carrying heavy infections of neck threadworm (Onchocerca sp.) Microfilariae. These reactions were most likely the result of microfilariae dying in large numbers. Symptomatic treatment may be advisable. Consult your veterinarian should any such reactions occur. Healing of summer sores involving extensive tissue changes may require other appropriate therapy in conjunction with treatment with EQUIMAX. Reinfection, and measures for its prevention, should also be considered. Consult your veterinarian if the condition does not improve.
