Active Ingredients and Formulation (Per Syringe)

• Ivermectin (18.7 mg/g / 1.87%): A potent macrocyclic lactone that paralyzes and kills parasitic nematodes and arthropods by interfering with their nervous systems.

• Praziquantel (140.3 mg/g / 14.03%): A targeted isoquinoline derivative that causes rapid paralysis of tapeworm musculature, ensuring complete elimination of cestodes.

• Vehicle and Presentation: Supplied as a smooth, palatable 18.79 g graduated multi-dose oral syringe designed for precise, stress-free weight-based dosing.

What Is Equimax Used For?

Primary Veterinary Indications

• Nematode and Roundworm Control: Routinely utilized by equine veterinarians and trainers to eliminate adult and developmental stages of large strongyles (Strongylus vulgaris, Strongylus edentatus, Strongylus equinus), small strongyles (Cyathostomum spp.), pinworms (Oxyuris equi), roundworms (Parascaris equorum), hairworms, stomach worms, and threadworms.

• Cestode (Tapeworm) Elimination: Formulated to clear tapeworm infestations (Anoplocephala perfoliata) effectively, preventing pathological intestinal attachment and associated colic risks.

• Gastric Bot Larvae (Myiasis): Targets and controls the oral and gastric larval stages of bot flies (Gasterophilus spp.) during seasonal parasite management protocols.

Administration and Dosage Considerations

Route and Dosing

• Route of Administration: Administered orally by unlocking the syringe ring and depressing the plunger to deposit the paste onto the base of the horse’s tongue. Ensure the mouth is free of feed.

• Standard Dosage: 200 mcg of ivermectin and 1.5 mg of praziquantel per kg of body weight, which corresponds to 1.07 g of paste per 100 kg (220 lbs). Each 18.79 g syringe contains sufficient formulation to treat a horse weighing up to 700 kg (1,540 lbs).

• Veterinary Guidance: Base calculations strictly on certified body weight to avoid under-dosing or over-supplementation. Consult your veterinarian for tailored parasite control programs.
