Equitak Excel Paste is a broad-spectrum horse wormer for the treatment and control of all major roundworms, tapeworms and bots, including abamectin-resistant Parascaris equorum and benzimidazole-resistant small strongyles. Indications – Treats and Controls: Roundworms (Ascarids): Parascaris equorum (mature and immature) Small strongyles (redworms): Cyathostomum spp., Gyalocephalus spp., Cylicostephanus spp., Cylicocyclus spp. (mature and immature), including benzimidazole-resistant strains Large strongyles (bloodworms): Strongylus vulgaris (mature and arterial larval stages), Strongylus edentatus (mature and tissue stages), Strongylus equinus (mature), Triodontophorus spp. (mature) Large mouth stomach worms: Habronema spp. (mature) Hairworms: Trichostrongylus axei (mature) Intestinal threadworms: Strongyloides westeri (mature) Pinworms: Oxyuris equi (adult and immature) Lungworms: Dictyocaulus arnfieldi (mature and immature) Tapeworms: Anoplocephala perfoliata (mature and immature; scoleces and segments) Bots: Gasterophilus spp. (oral and gastric stages) Skin lesions caused by cutaneous larvae of: Habronema spp. and Draschia spp. (summer sores) Size: 30 g paste syringe Active Ingredients (per g): Abamectin 4.0 mg Praziquantel 50.0 mg Oxfendazole 200.0 mg Mode of Action: Abamectin stimulates the release of the neurotransmitter GABA in roundworms, increasing chloride ion permeability in nerve cells. This inhibits normal nerve transmission, causing paralysis and death of the parasite. Praziquantel affects tapeworms by causing spastic paralysis and damaging the tegument, increasing membrane permeability to cations. The tapeworms are then destroyed in situ. Oxfendazole destroys abamectin-resistant Parascaris equorum by inhibiting tubulin synthesis in the parasite, leading to death by starvation. Withholding Period (Horses): Do not use less than 28 days before slaughter for human consumption. Dosage and Administration: For oral use only. General dose rate: 1 g Equitak Excel Paste per 20 kg bodyweight, equivalent to: Abamectin 0.2 mg/kg bodyweight Praziquantel 2.5 mg/kg bodyweight Oxfendazole 10 mg/kg bodyweight Dose Guide: 100 kg – 5 g 200 kg – 10 g 300 kg – 15 g 400 kg – 20 g 500 kg – 25 g 600 kg – 30 g Equitak Excel is safe for use in all classes and types of horses, including foals, breeding mares, pregnant mares (at all stages of pregnancy), lactating mares and stallions. How to Administer: Set the correct dose by turning the plunger lock to the required bodyweight. Remove the cap from the syringe nozzle. Insert the syringe into the side of the horse’s mouth, in the gap between the front and back teeth. Advance the syringe as far as possible onto the tongue and press the plunger fully to deliver the dose. Deposit the paste onto the rear of the tongue, then raise the horse’s head for a few seconds to ensure the full dose is swallowed.
