Horse Wormers

EQUIMEC Paste for Horses – Broad Spectrum Parasite Control

EQUIMEC Paste is a powerful, broad-spectrum oral wormer designed specifically for horses. Containing 18.7 g/kg ivermectin, it provides reliable treatment and control of a wide range of internal parasites and bots — including those resistant to other wormers. With a single, easy-to-administer dose, EQUIMEC helps keep your horse healthy, comfortable, and performing at their best.

What it Treats

EQUIMEC Paste is effective against:

• Large strongyles – including Strongylus vulgaris (adults and arterial larval stages), S. edentatus, S. equinus, Triodontophorus spp., Craterostomum acuticaudatum
• Small strongyles – including benzimidazole-resistant strains
• Pinworms – Oxyuris equi (adult and immature)
• Roundworms (Ascarids) – Parascaris equorum
• Hairworms – Trichostrongylus axei
• Stomach worms – Habronema muscae
• Neck threadworms – Onchocerca spp. (microfilariae)
• Lungworms – Dictyocaulus arnfieldi
• Intestinal threadworms – Strongyloides westeri
• Bots – Gasterophilus spp. (oral and gastric stages)
• Summer sores and cutaneous onchocerciasis caused by larval stages of Habronema, Draschia, and Onchocerca

Who It's For

EQUIMEC Paste is suitable for:

• Horses of all ages
• Foals from 6–8 weeks of age
• Mares at any stage of pregnancy
• Breeding stallions (does not affect fertility)

Note: This product is for horses only. Do not use in other animals.

Directions for Use:

• Administer orally using the included syringe.
• Each syringe treats one 600kg horse.
• Use the plunger markings to dose accurately based on bodyweight (1.07g per 100kg).
• Ensure the horse’s mouth is free of feed before dosing.
• Raise the horse’s head briefly after administration to ensure the full dose is swallowed.

How Often to Use

Since reinfection is common, routine treatment is essential. EQUIMEC is ideal for use in a strategic parasite control program — particularly in horses at risk of colic or verminous arteritis from S. vulgaris. Foals, mares, and yearlings should receive special attention.

Consult your veterinarian to tailor a worming schedule that suits your horse's individual needs and environment.

Safety and Side Effects

• Wide safety margin at recommended dose levels
• Occasional mild swelling or itching may occur, usually linked to heavy infestations of Onchocerca microfilariae
• These signs generally resolve within a few days — consult your vet if they persist
• Meat withholding period: Do not use less than 21 days before slaughter

Environmental and Storage Information

• Toxic to aquatic life – avoid contaminating waterways
• Dispose of used syringes responsibly in household garbage
• Store below 25°C and protect from light

EQUIMEC Paste offers proven, broad-spectrum protection in a single, low-volume dose — making it an ideal choice for routine worming and parasite control in horses of all ages.

***NEW SIZE - Now Treats Up to 700kg per tube ***

***LASTS UP TO 16 WEEKS***

Equest Plus Tape wormer for horses controls tapeworm in addition to all the other major gastrointestinal worms and bots.


Equest Plus Tape is the only horse wormer that is long acting: re-treatment is recommended after 14-16 weeks compared to after 6-8 weeks with other wormers. This means fewer treatments per year and twice the time that pastures are left free of worm eggs.



Equest Plus Tape is also the only horse wormer to have a registered claim to control encysted small strongyles in a single dose. Small strongyle worms hibernate or encyst in the lining of the horses gut and can cause colic. While other horse wormers kill the small strongyle worms that are in the gut itself, Equest Plus Tape is the only wormer with a registered claim to also kill the encysted forms. This means that the life cycle is blocked at a much earlier stage and that no small strongyle worms can re-emerge and mature in the horses gut straight after worming.



Equest Plus Tape is a unique gel formulation that dissolves rapidly on the tongue. The dial up syringe is designed with a narrow barrel to allow easy access into the side of the horses mouth and deliver the right dose every time.


Equest Plus Tape is safe for pregnant mares and breeding stallions as well as foal over 4 weeks of age.



Active Constituents:  Moxidectin 20mg/ml, Praziquantel 125mg/mL.



Contents:  14.4g net (Sufficient to treat a horse of 700kg)



Broad Spectrum:


Equest Plus Tape long acting horse wormer and boticide gel is the only horse wormer to control tapeworm and all important gastrointestinal roundworms, including adult and encysted stages (DL, LL3, EL4) and benzimidazole resistant strains of small strongyles, and aids in control of early encysted stages (EL3), including inhibited larvae (greater than 90% effective).  Protects for 14 -16 weeks.



Parasite Control Programs:


All horses should have a regular parasite control program. Regular treatment will reduce the risk of diseases due to small and large strongyles such as colic and verminous arteritis. Reinfection of horses with worms is common and treatment must be repeated routinely to ensure effective control. The unique long term activity of Equest Plus Tape long acting horse wormer & boticide gel against worms, including encysted small strongyles, is particularly useful in reducing the required dosing frequency in strategic parasite control programs. Retreatment intervals for the control of small strongyles can be extended for 14 to 16 weeks. Consult your veterinarian for advice on faecal egg count interpretation and the appropriate program for your specific needs.



Indications:
Equest Plus Tape contains the active ingredient moxidectin, a second generation macrocyclic lactone, and praziquantel, a synthetic isoquinoline-pyrazine derivative. Equest Plus Tape is palatable and effective for the treatment and control of:

Equimax Liquid is for treatment and control of tapeworms and roundworms (including arterial larval stages of Strongylus vulgaris and benzimidazole resistant small strongyles), bots and skin lesions caused by Habronema and Draschia sp. (summer sores) and Onchocerca sp. microfilariae (cutaneous onchocerciasis) in horses.

Dosage and Administration: 
Give orally.
1 mL/4 kg bodyweight (25 mL/100 kg bodyweight). This dose delivers abamectin 0.2 mg/kg and praziquantel 2.5 mg/kg.
The calculated volume should be administered by stomach tube directly into the stomach. This ensures that the full dose is received.
When horses cannot be stomach tubed, an appropriate device can be used for administration, e.g. a drench gun.

Horses should have their weight accurately determined before dosing and the tubing liquid should be measured with an accurate measuring device.
Do not underdose.

Active Ingredients: Abamectin 0.8 g/L, Praziquantel 10 g/L.

Volume: 5L

Administering tubes of paste to horses can be a problem. The Worming Bit is an ideal solution.

The required worming paste, mineral supplement or other tube-based remedy is firstly fitted into the plastic bit. The bit is then slipped into the horse’s mouth, and the strap placed over the ears where it is pulled up firm. The tube content can then be expelled in a controlled and convenient manner.

The paste or remedy is placed correctly on the back of the horse’s tongue where it can not be expelled.

The Worming Bit has a familiar feel for the horse, thus calming the animal.

Accepts all sizes of paste syringes.

Active Constituents:
15.5 mg/g IVERMECTIN

77.5 mg/g PRAZIQUANTEL

Dosage & Administration:
iMEC with TAPE Broad Spectrum Antiparasitic Paste for Horses is given orally at the recommended dose level of 200μg ivermectin/kg and 1mg/kg praziquantel liveweight.

The contents of this syringe will treat one horse of 600kg liveweight.

Each weight marking on the syringe plunger will deliver 1.29g of paste which is sufficient to treat 100kg live weight.

Unlock the knurled ring by making ¼ turn to left and slide it up the plunger shaft so that the side nearest the barrel is at prescribed weight marking. Turn the knurled ring ¼ turn to the right to lock in place. Remove the plastic cap from the tip of the nozzle. Make sure the horse’s mouth does not contain feed. Insert the syringe into the side of as horse’s mouth in the gap between the front and back teeth. Advance the plunger as far as it will go depositing the paste on the rear of the tongue. Immediately raise the horse’s head for few seconds after dosing to ensure the full dose has been swallowed.

Use at the correct weight-based dose. There is no blanket ‘use every X weeks’ rule printed on the label – instead iMEC should be used as part of a monitored parasite-control plan. For many adult horses with good pasture management, one treatment in spring and one in late summer/early autumn will suffice, provided a broad-spectrum product (with tapeworm activity) is used. Horses at higher risk should be assessed by your equine veterinarian, and faecal egg-counts and management factors considered, before deciding on additional treatments

Product Advantages:
• Broad Spectrum: iMEC with TAPE kills all the important internal parasites of horses, including the arterial stages of S.vulgaris and bots with a single, low volume, easy to administer dose. Because reinfection is common, treatment must be repeated routinely for effective control.

• Safety to Horses: Ivermectin and Praziquantel have wide safety margin at recommended dose level. They may be used in horses of all ages. Mares may be treated at any stage of pregnancy. Stallions may be treated without adversely affecting their fertility.

Dosage & Administration:
Discard any unused diluted Applemax Gold Liquid Wormer suspension 24 hours after dilution.
The recommended dose is 1mL Applemax Gold Liquid Wormer per 50kg liveweight (equivalent to 200µg Ivermectin per kilogram liveweight and 1.5mg Praziquantel per kilogram liveweight).
Applemax Gold Liquid Wormer can be given as an oral drench or by stomach tube (nasogastric intubation). Nasogastric intubation should only be done by a veterinarian or under veterinary supervision.

Administration as an oral drench: 
For administration by this method, an undiluted dose is usually preferred. Clear the horse’s mouth of any food material, elevate the horse’s head, and using a suitable dosing syringe, deposit the appropriate dose in the back of the mouth. In order to avoid unnecessary coughing or the potential for material to enter the trachea and lungs, do not use excessive pressure, do not use a large dose volume of diluted Applemax Gold Liquid Wormer and do not deposit the dose in the laryngeal area. Increased dose rejection may occur if the dose is deposited in the front of the mouth. Keep the horse’s head elevated and observe the horse to ensure the dose is retained.

Administration by stomach tube (gravity or positive flow): Drenching horses by nasogastric intubation requires specialised skills and knowledge. Special consideration should be given to the effects of potential for injury from handling, restraint and placement of the tube during administration by stomach tube. Nasogastric intubation should only be done by a veterinarian or under veterinary supervision.

The recommended dose can be used undiluted or diluted up to approximately 40 times with clean tepid water. Use tepid water to flush any drug remaining in the tube into the horse’s stomach. Pour the Applemax Gold Liquid Wormer into a graduated cylinder for dose measurement. Alternatively use a calibrated dosing syringe inserted into the bottle to measure the appropriate dose. Use a clean, dry syringe if accessing the bottle to avoid contaminating the remaining product.
