Directions
- Administer orally as a single dose rate to horses at the recommended dose level of 0.2mg ivermectin per kilogram of bodyweight.
- To ensure administration of the correct dose, body weight should be determined as accurately as possible.
- If animals are to be treated collectively rather than individually, they should be grouped according to their bodyweight and dosed accordingly, in order to avoid under- or over-dosing.
- This is a single dose product. Discard after use.
- Each weight marking on the syringe plunger will deliver sufficient paste to treat 100kg bodyweight.
- Unlock the knurled ring by making ¼ turn and slide the knurled ring up the plunger shaft so that the side nearest the barrel is at the prescribed weight marking.
- Turn the knurled ring ¼ turn to lock in place.
- Make sure the horse’s mouth contains no feed.
- Remove the plastic cap from the tip of the nozzle. Insert the syringe into the horse’s mouth at the interdental space.
- Advance the plunger as far as it will go, depositing the medication on the base of the tongue.
- Immediately raise the horse’s head for a few seconds after dosing.
Ingredients
- Active Ingredient: Ivermectin 18.7 mg/g.

Cautions
- Resistance to ivermectin has been reported in Parascaris equorum in horses in a number of countries, including the EU. Therefore, the use of this product should be based on local farm epidemiological information about susceptibility of nematodes and recommendations on how to limit further selection for resistance to anthelmintics.
- Parasite resistance to any particular class of anthelmintic may develop following frequent, repeated use of an anthelmintic of that class.
- EXTREMELY DANGEROUS TO FISH AND AQUATIC LIFE. Do not contaminate surface waters or ditches with product or used containers. Any unused product or waste material should be disposed of in accordance with national requirements.
Special precautions to be taken by the person administering the veterinary medicinal product to animals:
- Do not eat, drink or smoke while handling the product.
- Avoid contact with skin and eyes. If accidental skin contact occurs, wash the affected area immediately with soap and water. If accidental eye exposure occurs, flush the eyes immediately with water and, if necessary, get medical attention.
- Wash hands after use.
