Description
Clear tapeworms, bots, strongyles and more in a single dose with ZIMECTERIN GOLD horse dewormer paste from Boehringer Ingelheim. The combination of ivermectin 1.55% and praziquantel 7.75% controls more species and stages of equine parasites than any other dewormer, and ivermectin remains effective against benzimidazole-resistant small strongyles. One 7.35 g syringe treats a horse up to 1,250 pounds, with plunger markings that let you dial in the dose for smaller horses, ponies and foals two months and older.
Key Features
- Two actives, one dose: Ivermectin takes care of roundworms, bots and lungworms while praziquantel handles tapeworms.
- Broad coverage: Treats and controls tapeworms, small and large strongyles, ascarids, bots, pinworms, threadworms and lungworms.
- Fights resistance: Ivermectin stays effective against small strongyles that have developed resistance to benzimidazole and pyrantel dewormers.
- Weight-marked syringe: Each plunger mark delivers enough paste for 250 lb of body weight, up to 1,250 lb per syringe.
- Safe for horses two months and older: Stallions may be treated without affecting fertility.
- FDA approved: NADA 141-214, available without a prescription.
How to Use
Weigh or estimate your horse's body weight, then turn the dial ring on the plunger until the arrow lines up with the matching weight mark. Make sure the horse's mouth is empty of feed, remove the cap, insert the syringe tip into the side of the mouth at the gap between the teeth, and push the plunger as far as it will go to deposit the paste on the back of the tongue. Raise the horse's head for a few seconds to encourage swallowing. Foals should be treated first at two months of age, and routine treatment repeated as your veterinarian recommends based on fecal exams and local parasite pressure. Not for use in horses intended for food. Do not use in other animal species, since severe reactions, including fatalities in dogs, may result.
