Manufacturer:
Pfizer

Prescription Product:

Active Ingredients:
Ivermectin (1.87%)

Praziquantel (14.03%)

Equimax is as effective as ivermectin against major parasites, as well as 100% effective against tapeworms, Anoplocephala perfoliata. EQUIMAX can prevent tapeworm-associated colics, due to the control of A. perfoliata.

Equimax (ivermectin/praziquantel) paste is indicated for the treatment and control of the following parasites:

Tapeworms, Anoplocephala perfoliata
Large strongyles (adults) Strongylus vulgaris (also early forms in blood vessels), S. edentatus (also tissue stages), S. equinus, Triodontophorus spp.
Small strongyles (adults, including those resistant to some benzimidazole class compounds): Cyathostomum spp., Cylicocyclus spp., Cylicostephanus spp., Cylicodontophorus spp., Habronema muscae
Small Strongyles (fourth-stage larvae)
Pinworms (adults and fourth-stage larvae): Oxyuris equi
Ascarids (adults and third- and fourth-stage larvae): Parascaris equorum
Hairworms (adults): Trichostrongylus axei
Large-mouth stomach worms (adults): Habronema muscae
Bots (oral and gastric stages): Gasterophilus spp.
Lungworms (adults and fourth-stage larvae): Dictyocaulus arnfieldi
Intestinal threadworms (adults): Strongyloides westeri
Summer sores caused by Habronema and Draschia spp. cutaneous third-stage larvae
Dermatitis caused by neck threadworm microfilariae, Onchocerca spp.

Equimax is packaged in an innovative applicator that allows for easier, more accurate dosing. Packaged in 6.42-g oral syringe, net weight 0.225 oz, one syringe treats horses up to 1,320 lbs.
Equimax may be used in horses 4 weeks of age and older. Stallions and breeding, pregnant or lactating mares may be treated without adverse effects on fertility.

Directions For Use:
Each syringe contains sufficient paste to treat one 1320-lb horse at the recommended dose rate of 91 mcg ivermectin per lb (200 mcg/kg) of body weight. Each weight marking on the syringe plunger delivers enough paste to treat 220 lb (100 kg) 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 4 weeks of age, and routine treatment repeated as appropriate.

Equimax Paste effectively controls gastrointestinal nematodes and bots of horses. Regular treatment will reduce the chance of colic caused by the tapeworm A. perfoliata and verminous arteritis caused by S. Vulgaris.

Precautionary Statements:
Equimax Paste is for use in horses and ponies only. This product 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 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.

Swelling and itching reactions after treatment with Equimax Paste have occurred in horses carrying heavy infections of neck threadworm. These reactions were most likely the result of microfilariae dying in large numbers.

Always follow packaging instructions before use, and consult the manufacturer or your vet for any possible interactions that may occur with other medications. Keep this and all medications out of the reach of children.
