Ultramax Equine for Horses

Ultramax Equine is a multi-spectrum worming treatment that destroys internal parasites found in horses. It is highly effective in killing and controlling tapeworms, hairworms, threadworms, lungworms, pinworms, arterial stages of bloodworms (Strongylus vulgaris) and bots. It protects horses from parasitic disorders and diseases caused by internal parasites.

How it works?

Ivermectin and praziquantel are the active ingredients of Ultramax Equine. Ivermectin is endectocide that destroys invertebrate parasites by blocking their ion channels. It causes hyperpolarisation of nerve and muscle cells that causes paralysis and death of the parasite. Praziquantel disrupts tapeworms by causing muscle contraction. The combined action of both the ingredients destroys worms and bots in horses.

For Paste

  • Should be given orally at the recommended dose rate
  • Insert the syringe into the side of the horses mouth and deposit the paste towards the back of the tongue.
  • Depress the plunger quickly as far as it will go to the desired dosage.
  • Immediately raise the horses head for a few seconds to ensure that the full dose has been accepted.

For Liquid

Shake the bottle well before administration

An ideal dosage of Ultramax Equine must contain 200µg ivermectin per kg liveweight and 1.5 mg praziquantel per kg liveweight.

  • The recommended dosage of Ultramax Equine is 1 ml per 50 Kg bodyweight

You can administer through the help of stomach tube (Nasogastric intubation) which should be done under the guidance of a veterinary surgeon only.

For administering as an oral drench:

Remove any food leftovers from the horse’s mouth. Elevate the horse’s head. With the help of a suitable syringe, pour an adequate dosage of Ultramax Equine at the back of his mouth. Close his mouth and let him swallow the content.
