Dose to be administered and administration route
For oral use
Single administration
200 µg of Ivermectin and 1.5 mg of Praziquantel per kg of bodyweight corresponding to 1.07 g of paste per 100 kg bodyweight
To ensure administration of a correct dose, bodyweight should be determined as accurately as possible and the correct syringe division selected, as underdosing might lead to an increased risk of development of resistance to anthelmintic drugs.

The first division delivers enough paste to treat 50 kg.
Each subsequent syringe division delivers enough paste to treat 50 kg of bodyweight.
The syringe should be adjusted to the calculated dosage by setting the ring on the appropriate place on the plunger.
The syringe contains 7.49 g of paste and delivers sufficient paste to treat 700 kg of bodyweight at the recommended dose rate.
Directions for use
Before administration, adjust the syringe to the calculated dosage by setting the ring on the plunger. The paste is administered orally by inserting the nozzle of the syringe through the interdental space and depositing the required amount of the paste on the back of the tongue. The animal’s mouth should be free of any food.
Immediately after administration, elevate the head of the horse for a few seconds to ensure the dose is swallowed.
The veterinary surgeon should give advice regarding appropriate dosing programmes and stock management to achieve adequate parasite control for both tapeworm and roundworm infestations.
Adverse reactions
Horses carrying heavy infection of Onchocerca microfilariae have experienced such reactions as swelling and itching after treatment. It is assumed that these reactions are the result of the destruction of large numbers of microfilariae.
In case of very high levels of infestation, destruction of the parasites may cause a mild transient colic and loose faeces in the treated horse.
Colic, diarrhea and anorexia have been reported in very rare occasions post treatment, in particular when there is heavy worm burden.
In very rare occasions, allergic reactions such as hypersalivation, lingual oedema and urticaria, tachycardia, congested mucus membranes, and subcutaneous oedema have been reported following treatment with the product. A veterinarian should be consulted if these signs persist.
The frequency of adverse reactions is defined using the following convention:
- very rare (less than 1 animal in 10,000 animals treated, including isolated reports.
