30 g paste syringe

• Abamectin 4.0 mg
• Praziquantel 50.0 mg
• Oxfendazole 200.0 mg

• Abamectin stimulates the release of the neurotransmitter GABA in roundworms, increasing chloride ion permeability in nerve cells. This inhibits normal nerve transmission, causing paralysis and death of the parasite.
• Praziquantel affects tapeworms by causing spastic paralysis and damaging the tegument, increasing membrane permeability to cations. The tapeworms are then destroyed in situ.
• Oxfendazole destroys abamectin-resistant Parascaris equorum by inhibiting tubulin synthesis in the parasite, leading to death by starvation.

Do not use less than 28 days before slaughter for human consumption.

For oral use only.
