What is Ivermectin?

EQVALAN 120 MG is an oral paste formulation containing ivermectin, used for parasite control in horses. This 6.42g tube is designed for convenient administration and effective treatment.

What is Ivermectin used for?

EQVALAN 120 MG is primarily used for the treatment and control of various internal and external parasites in horses. It is effective against a range of parasites, including bots, stomach worms, and skin parasites. This ivermectin-based paste is commonly used to maintain equine health by preventing parasitic infestations that can affect the overall well-being of horses.

What are the side effects of Ivermectin?

When administered as directed, EQVALAN 120 MG works by disrupting the nervous system of parasites, leading to their paralysis and eventual death. This action helps to eliminate existing infestations and prevent future ones. Some horses may experience mild effects such as temporary itching or mild gastrointestinal discomfort, but these are generally short-lived.

What precautions apply to Ivermectin?

EQVALAN 120 MG should be used with caution in horses with known sensitivities to ivermectin or other macrocyclic lactones. It is important to follow the recommended dosage and administration guidelines to avoid potential adverse effects. Always consult with a veterinarian before use, especially if the horse has any underlying health conditions.

What does Ivermectin interact with?

EQVALAN 120 MG may interact with other medications, particularly those that affect the liver or nervous system. It is advisable to avoid concurrent use with other antiparasitic treatments unless directed by a veterinarian. Additionally, interactions with certain vaccines or other equine health products may occur, so it is important to inform your veterinarian about all medications your horse is currently receiving.
