Eqvalan Paste for Horses

Eqvalan Paste is an effective broad spectrum oral treatment for the infections caused by internal parasites, including bots, in horses. It is indicated for the treatment of parasitic infestations duet to strongyles (large and small), intestinal threadworms, pinworms, ascarids, hairworms, large-mouthed stomach worms, neck threadworms, and bots. The treatment is formulated using an active ingredient, ivermectin in a clean, white, homogeneous, ready-to-use paste in a disposable plastic syringe. Moreover, it may also aid in the clinical improvement of dermatoses caused by vector-borne parasites. It is a safe and suitable treatment for horses including, pregnant mare and breeding stallions.

How it works?

Eqvalan Paste contains Ivermectin, a member of the macrocyclic lactone class of endectocides which have a unique mode of action. Compounds in this family bind to glutamate-gated chloride ion channels found in invertebrate nerve and muscle cells with great affinity. This causes an increase in the permeability of the cell membrane to chloride ions, as well as hyperpolarization of the nerve or muscle cell, resulting in parasite paralysis and death.
