- Ivermectin Paste 1.87%
- Anthelmintic and Boticide
- Removes worms and bots with a single dose
- Contents will treat up to 1250 lbs body weight
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. 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 6 to 8 weeks of
age, and routine treatment repeated as appropriate. Consult your
veterinarian for a control program to meet your specific needs. EQVALAN (ivermectin)
Paste effectively controls gastrointestinal nematodes and bots of horses.
Regular treatment will reduce the chances of verminous arteritis caused by
Strongylus vulgaris.
PRODUCT ADVANTAGES: Broad-spectrum Control - EQVALAN Paste kills
important internal parasites, including bots and the arterial stages of S.
vulgaris, with a single dose. EQVALAN Paste is a potent antiparasitic agent
that is neither a benzimidazole nor an organophosphate.
ANIMAL SAFETY: EQVALAN Paste may be used in horses of all ages, including
mares at any stage of pregnancy. Stallions may be treated without adversely
affecting their fertility.
WARNING: Do not use in horses intended for human consumption.
Not for use in humans. Keep this and all drugs out of reach of children.
Refrain from smoking and eating when handling. Wash hands after use. Avoid
contact with eyes.
PRECAUTIONS: EQVALAN (ivermectin) Paste has been formulated specifically
for use in horses only. This product should not be used in other animal
species as severe adverse reactions, including fatalities in dogs, may
result.
Environmental Safety: Ivermectin and excreted ivermectin residues may
adversely affect aquatic organisms. Do not contaminate ground or surface
water. Dispose of the syringe in an approved landfill or by incineration.
INFORMATION FOR HORSE OWNERS: Swelling and itching reactions after
treatment with EQVALAN Paste 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 EQVALAN (ivermectin) Paste. Reinfection, and measures for its
prevention, should also be considered. Consult your veterinarian if the
condition does not improve.
For Oral Use in Horses Only.
