the syringe plunger delivers enough paste to treat 250 lb body weight. (1)
While holding plunger, turn the knurled ring on the plunger to the right so
the side nearest the barrel is at the prescribed weight marking. (2) Make
sure that the horse's mouth contains no feed. (3) Remove the cover from the
tip of the syringe. (4) Insert the syringe tip into the horse's mouth at the
space between the teeth. (5) Depress the plunger as far as it will go,
depositing paste on the back of the tongue. (6) Immediately raise the
horse's head for a few seconds after dosing.

All horses should be included

weeks of age, and routine treatment repeated as appropriate.
Consult your veterinarian for
a control program to meet your specific needs. Parid EQ™ (ivermectin) Paste
1.87% effectively controls gastrointestinal nematodes and bots of horses.
