• Although this product has been extensively tested under a large variety of conditions, failure thereof may ensue as a result of a wide range of reasons. If this is suspected, seek veterinary advice and notify the registration holder. PRECAUTIONS
• Accurately determine the mass of the horse to be treated and adjust the syringe to the correct dose for the horse.
• Poisonous to humans if swallowed.
• Wash hands after use.
• Will irritate eyes and skin. DOSAGE AND DIRECTIONS FOR USE Use only as directed. Accurately determine the mass of the horse to be treated. Turn the ring on the plunger to the correct dosage setting in accordance with the horse’s weight. When used as directed PEGAQUEST® is safe for use in foals over 4 weeks of age and in all breeding stock, including stallions and pregnant mares. The PEGAQUEST® syringe is graduated in intervals of 100 kg body mass. The contents of this syringe will treat a horse of 600 kg. Dosage: PEGAQUEST® is orally administered at a dose rate of 0,4 mg/kg moxidectin and 2,5 mg praziquantel per kg body mass.
ADMINISTRATION
• Ensure that the horse’s mouth is free of food before administration.
• The body mass of the horse should be determined accurately to facilitate correct dosing of the paste.
• Insert the syringe into the side of the horse’s mouth in the gap between the front and back teeth and deliver the paste onto the back of the tongue.
• Raise the horse’s head for a few seconds immediately after dosing to ensure that the full dose has been swallowed. Parasite control programme: Regular treatment will reduce the risk of disease due to small and large strongyles such as colic and verminous arteritis. Reinfection of horses with worms is common. Treatment must be routinely repeated to ensure effective control. The long-term activity of PEGAQUEST® against worms, including encysted small strongyles, is very useful in reducing the required dosing frequency in strategic parasite control programmes. Retreatment intervals can be safely extended up to 13 weeks. Consult your veterinarian for advice on the appropriate programme to meet your specific needs.
