Treats and controls infections caused by various internal parasites in horses, including small strongyles (cyathostomins), large strongyles (Strongylus vulgaris), roundworms (Parascaris equorum), hairworms, intestinal threadworms, lungworms, and tapeworms (Anoplocephala perfoliata).
Contains ivermectin and praziquantel as active ingredients. Ivermectin works by binding to glutamate-gated chloride channels in parasite nerve and muscle cells, causing paralysis and death of the parasite. Praziquantel disrupts the parasite's tegument (skin) and causes severe damage to their吸取 system, leading to parasite death.
For oral use in horses only; not for use in humans or other animal species. Should not be used in foals under 2 months of age or in horses intended for human consumption. Consult with a veterinarian to develop an appropriate deworming schedule based on your horse's individual needs and local parasite prevalence.
