DOSAGE AND ADMINISTRATION
This syringe contains sufficient paste to treat one 1250 lb horse at the recommended dose rate of 91 mcg ivermectin per lb (200 mcg/kg) body weight and 454 mcg praziquantel per lb (1 mg/kg) body weight. Each weight marking on the syringe plunger delivers enough paste to treat 250 lb body weight. (1) While holding plunger, turn the knurled ring on the plunger 1/4 turn to the left and slide it so the side nearest the barrel is at the prescribed weight marking. (2) Lock the ring in place by making a 1/4 turn to the right. (3) Make sure that the horse's mouth contains no feed. (4) Remove the cover from the tip of the syringe. (5) Insert the syringe tip into the horse's mouth at the space between the teeth. (6) Depress the plunger as far as it will go, depositing paste on the back of the tongue. (7) Immediately raise the horse's head for a few seconds after dosing.

PARASITE CONTROL PROGRAM
All horses should be included in a regular parasite control program with particular attention being paid to mares, foals and yearlings. Foals should be treated initially at 5 months of age, and routine treatment repeated as frequently as every 8 weeks. Consult your veterinarian for a control program to meet your specific needs. ZIMECTERIN GOLD (ivermectin/praziquantel) Paste controls gastrointestinal cestodes, nematodes and bots of horses. Regular treatment will reduce the chances of verminous arteritis caused by Strongylus vulgaris.

PRODUCT ADVANTAGES
Broad-spectrum Control ZIMECTERIN GOLD Paste kills important internal parasites, including tapeworms, bots and the arterial stages of S. vulgaris, with a single dose. ZIMECTERIN GOLD Paste is a potent antiparasitic agent that is neither a benzimidazole nor an organophosphate.

ANIMAL SAFETY
ZIMECTERIN GOLD (ivermectin/praziquantel) Paste may be used in horses five months of age or older. ZIMECTERIN GOLD has not been tested in foals younger than five months of age, in pregnant mares or breeding stallions. ZIMECTERIN GOLD, when tested at 1, 3 and 5-times the maximum recommended dose every two weeks in 5-month old foals, and at 10-times the maximum recommended dose in a separate study, did not elicit any adverse clinical signs of toxicity.

PRECAUTIONS
ZIMECTERIN GOLD (ivermectin/praziquantel) Paste has been formulated specifically for use in horses only.

INFORMATION FOR HORSE OWNERS
Swelling and itching reactions after treatment with ivermectin have occurred in horses carrying heavy infections of neck threadworm (Onchocerca sp microfilariae). These reactions were most likely the result of microfilariae dying in large numbers. Symptomatic treatment may be advisable. Consult your veterinarian should any such reactions occur. Healing of summer sores involving extensive tissue changes may require other appropriate therapy in conjunction with treatment with ZIMECTERIN GOLD (ivermectin/praziquantel) Paste. Reinfection, and measures for its prevention, should also be considered. Consult your veterinarian if the condition does not improve.
