Equest Gel Plus Tape Wormer

Equest Plus Tapewormer is a broad-spectrum worming gel for horses and ponies. The wormer controls against tapeworms and all important gastrointestinal susceptible strains of roundworms, including adult and encysted stages and benzimidazole-resistant strains of small strongyles.

The unique long-lasting Equest Plus Tape horse wormer and boticide gel: is particularly useful in reducing the required dosing frequency in strategic parasite control programs. An Egg Reappearance Period (ERP) for Equest® Plus Tape is at least 14 weeks, which means that recontamination of the pasture by strongyle eggs is significantly reduced during this period.
