Equimec Paste is plain ivermectin in a 6.42g syringe — roundworms and bots, no tapeworm. It is the cheapest way to cover the routine worms; add a tapeworm treatment separately once or twice a year rather than paying for combined cover every time.
Supplied as a 6.42g syringe. For tapeworm cover in the same syringe see Equimec Plus Tape.
Key points
- Plain ivermectin — roundworms and bots
- No tapeworm cover — use a tapeworm product separately
- Single dose syringe — dosed to body weight
Safety
Macrocyclic lactone actives (ivermectin, abamectin, moxidectin, eprinomectin) are toxic to dogs, and severely so in herding breeds such as Collies, Border Collies, Australian Shepherds and Kelpies. Keep dogs away from treated animals until the product has dried, store the container out of reach, and dispose of empty packs and used syringes where a dog cannot get at them. Withholding periods for meat and milk and export slaughter intervals apply — read the label before treating any animal destined for sale.
