• EQUITAPE controls tapeworm with a SINGLE dose.

Specific to controlling tapeworms, praziquantel offers a more effective alternative compared to double dosing with pyrantel-based wormers, wormers which only control A. perfoliata
(Proudman C et al, 1995).

• EQUITAPE offers flexible tapeworm control.

Can be used on its own to purely treat a horse with a known tapeworm infestation, or can be used in the spring and autumn as part of a comprehensive worm control programme. So giving you the flexibility to treat your horse purely for tapeworm exactly when you need to.

• EQUITAPE is safe to use alongside routine wormers.

EQUITAPE can be used alongside other routine wormers, such as EQUEST.

•EQUITAPE is an easy to administer, paste formula.

Packaged in a small, handy single dose applicator, one syringe contains sufficient paste to treat a 600kg horse.

• EQUITAPE is safe to use in all horses, including stallions and mares*.

As tapeworm infection is unlikely to occur before 2 months of age, treatment of foals below this age is not considered necessary.

* Only use in pregnant and lactating mares after assessment with your vet.

Alternatively if you prefer to treat your horse for tapeworm separately, then EQUITAPE, containing praziquantel, is available.

EQUITAPE is licensed to control tapeworm with a single dose, and can be used on its own to treat tapeworm infested horses, or alongside EQUEST as part of a comprehensive worm control programme.

Alternatively, if you want to treat for tapeworm at the same time as roundworms, it is suggested you use the Equest and Equest Pramox.
