Equimec Plus Tape is an ivermectin paste with tapeworm cover added, in a single-dose syringe. If tapeworm is not part of your programme this season, the plain Equimec Paste costs less per dose.
Supplied as a single syringe. We have not been able to confirm the exact syringe weight from the manufacturer, so the variant is listed by dose rather than grams.
Key points
- Ivermectin with tapeworm cover — one syringe, two jobs
- Single dose — dosed to body weight
- Oral paste — administered over the tongue
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.
