Equimax is an all-in-one, combination wormer capable of treating multiple-species infestations, including roundworms, tapeworms and bots, and is the only product registered to treat all three species of equine tapeworm. One gel is sufficient to treat a horse up to 700kg, if your horse is bigger than this you will need another gel. This product should be used in spring and autumn alongside Eraquell or another Ivermectin wormer in the summer. We also recommend incorporating a worm count kit in summer - Please contact us for help with your worming plan.

About

Equimax is a combination horse wormer, containing ivermectin and praziquantel, for the treatment and control of important internal parasites, including roundworms, bots and all three species of tapeworm.

Why use Equimax?

Equimax easy-to-use syringes are designed to treat up to 700kg bodyweight (more than most other wormers).

Equimax combines ivermectin and praziquantel to treat roundworms, bots, pinworms and three species of tapeworms.

Using Equimax in spring and autumn treats all of these parasites in a single dose, making worming more simple and cost effective whilst helping to reduce the risk of resistance.

What does Equimax treat? Equimax Oral Gel, at the recommended dosage level, provides effective control of the following parasites of horses and ponies:

Large Strongyles

Small Strongyles (adults)

Hairworms

Pinworms

Ascarids

Intestinal Threadworms

Large-mouth stomach worms

Lungworms

Neck threadworm

Stomach bots

Tapeworms

When should Equimax be used? Equimax should be used in spring and autumn, alongside Eraquell in early and late summer and a treatment for encysted small redworms over the winter months, to provide a complete year round parasite control programme for all types of horses and ponies, including pregnant and lactating mares, and foals over two weeks of age.
