DIRECTIONS FOR USE: Side effects - Some horses have experienced reactions with swelling and itching shortly after treatment. In most cases the horses have been diagnosed as carrying heavy infections of Onchocerca microfilariae and it is assumed the reactions were the result of microfilariae dying in large numbers. Although the signs have resolved in a few days, symptomatic treatment may be advisable. Consult your veterinarian if these signs persist.
DOSAGE AND ADMINISTRATION
iMEC with TAPE Broad Spectrum Antiparasitic Paste for Horses is given orally at the recommended dose
level of 200μg ivermectin/kg and 1mg/kg praziquantel liveweight. The contents of this syringe will treat one
horse of 600kg liveweight. Each weight marking on the syringe plunger will deliver 1.29g of paste which
is sufficient to treat 100kg live weight. Unlock the knurled ring by making ¼ turn to left and slide it up the plunger shaft so that the side nearest the barrel is at prescribed weight marking. Turn the knurled ring ¼ turn to the right to lock in place. Remove the plastic cap from the tip of the nozzle. Make sure the horse’s
mouth does not contain feed. Insert the syringe into the side of as horse’s mouth in the gap between the front and back teeth. Advance the plunger as far as it will go depositing the paste on the rear of the tongue. Immediately raise the horse’s head for few seconds after dosing to ensure the full dose has been
swallowed.
General Directions
All horses should be included in a regular parasite control program with particular attention paid to mares foals and yearlings. Foals should be treated initially at 6 to 8 weeks of age, and routine treatment repeated as appropriate. iMEC with TAPE paste is highly effective against gastrointestinal cutaneous and pulmonary nematodes, tapeworms and bots of horses. Regular treatment will reduce the chances of verminous arteritis and colic caused by S.vulgaris. With its broad spectrum, iMEC with TAPE is well suited to be the major product in a parasite control program.
Consult your veterinarian for control program to meet your specific needs.
PRODUCT ADVANTAGES
