What is this product used for
Equimectrin Paste is a parasiticide (anthelminthic and boticide) which removes worms and bots in a single dose.
Availability
Equimectrin Paste is a non-prescription (OTC) product.
How this product should be used
The content of a single oral syringe is sufficient to treat one 1250 lb horse at the recommended dose rate of 91mcg per lb. Each weight marking on the oral syringe plunger delivers enough paste to treat 250 lb of body weight. All horses should be included in a regular parasite control program with particular attention being paid to mares (including pregnant mares at any stage of pregnancy), foals and yearlings. Foals should be treated initially at 6 to 8 weeks of age, and routine treatment repeated as appropriate. Stallions may be treated without adversely affecting their fertility.
What are the side effects
Swelling and itching reactions after treatment with Equimectrin Paste have occurred in horses carrying heavy infections of neck threadworm. These reactions were most likely the result of microfilariae dying in large numbers. Symptomatic treatment may be advisable. Healing of summer sores involving extensive tissue changes may require other appropriate therapy in conjunction with treatment with Equimectrin Paste. Reinfection, and measures for its prevention, should also be considered. Consult your veterinarian if the condition does not improve.

Equimectrin Paste is for use in horses only. This product should not be used in other animal species as severe reactions, including fatalities in dogs, may result. Do not use on horses intended for food purposes. This product is not intended for use in humans. Do not smoke or eat when handling this product. Wash hands after use. Avoid contact with eyes. Do not contaminate ground or surface water. Dispose of the syringe in an approved landfill or by incineration.
