Composition

• Moxidectin: 20 mg/g

Actions
Equest Plus Tape combines two potent active ingredients for comprehensive deworming and boticide action:

• Moxidectin: A second-generation macrocyclic lactone that targets a broad range of internal parasites.
• Praziquantel: A synthetic isoquinoline-pyrazine derivative, specifically effective against tapeworm infestations.

Indications
Equest Plus Tape is designed for the treatment and control of the following parasites in horses:

• Tapeworm (Anoplocephala perfoliata)
• Roundworms, including the arterial larval stages of Strongylus vulgaris
• Adult and late encysted stages of small strongyles
• Bots
• Habronema spp.

Warnings

• Keep away from dogs, as excessive consumption of spilled material can cause toxicity.
• Avoid contact with eyes and skin. If contact occurs, rinse immediately with water.

Precautions

• Do not administer the full syringe to horses weighing less than 400 kg.
• Use caution in foals and smaller breeds. Ensure the dosage is calibrated to prevent overdosing.
• Accurately determine the weight of the horse prior to dosing. If no scale is available, use a weight tape and adjust the syringe to the correct dosage.

Safety Directions

• Harmful if swallowed.
• Irritating to eyes and skin.
• Avoid direct contact with eyes and skin. Wash hands thoroughly after use.
• For more information, consult the Material Safety Data Sheet (MSDS).

Disposal

• Dispose of empty containers by wrapping them in paper and discarding them in the trash.

Withholding Periods

• Meat: 28 days for horses.

Dosage and Administration
Administer orally at the following recommended dosages:

• Moxidectin: 0.4 mg/kg
• Praziquantel: 2.5 mg/kg

The gel comes in a ready-to-use calibrated syringe, with weight intervals marked in 25 kg increments to ensure precise dosing for your horse.

How to Use:

1. Prepare the Syringe: Hold the syringe with the capped end facing left, so the weight markings are visible. Rotate the green dial ring until it aligns with the horse’s weight.
2. Administer the Gel:
   • Ensure the horse’s mouth is empty.
   • Place the syringe nozzle between the front and rear teeth, aiming for the back of the tongue.
   • Gently press the plunger to deliver the gel onto the back of the horse’s tongue.
   • Raise the horse’s head to ensure the gel is swallowed.
3. For horses over 575 kg, more than one syringe may be required.

Surplus Gel:
If any gel remains in the syringe, replace the barrel cap and store it at room temperature (below 30°C) for later use. Do not use past the expiry date.
If the first horse treated weighs less than 575 kg, the remaining gel can be used for a second horse. Adjust the green dial to the appropriate weight for the next animal.

Presentation
