Apple Flavoring
We all know that horses love apples!
We also know that receiving the full dose of any medicine is fundamental in getting the complete benefit of the treatment. It is particularly important for antiparasitic treatments, for which under-dosing may increase the chances of those parasites developing resistance to the active ingredient, rendering it less effective over time.
Horses are much more likely to ingest the full dose of medicine if it’s flavored pleasantly. Apple flavored de-wormers (such as Equimax®) can increase the ease of administration and ensure the horse receives the proper, full dose. This means less spitting, less product waste, better efficacy. Not counting a more pleasant experience for both owner and horse.
Who knew something as simple as an apple flavor can go such a long way!

FOR ORAL USE IN HORSES 4 WEEKS OF AGE AND OLDER. EQUIMAX® (ivermectin/praziquantel) Paste should not be used in other animal species as severe adverse reactions, including fatalities in dogs, may result. Do not use in horses intended for human consumption. Swelling and itching reactions after treatment with ivermectin paste have occurred in horses carrying heavy infections of neck threadworm (Onchocerca sp. microfilariae), most likely due to microfilariae dying in large numbers. Not for use in humans. Ivermectin and ivermectin residues may adversely affect aquatic organisms, therefore dispose of product appropriately to avoid environmental contamination.
