(ivermectin and praziquantel)

EQVALAN GOLD is the broadest-spectrum dewormer available in Canada. It combines two active ingredients – ivermectin and praziquantel – to provide comprehensive, broad-spectrum parasite control for your horses. EQVALAN GOLD is registered to control 70 species and stages of equine parasites – including tapeworms! That’s more than twice as many as the product you may be using now.* Nothing is more deadly to parasites. Effective against:

Worms
Bots
Tapeworms
Controlling parasites is an essential health care measure for your horse. Damage can take place when parasites do any of the following:

Attach to tissue in your horse and consume blood
Migrate through intestinal walls to nearby organs and vessels
Block passages in the digestive tract or arteries supply blood to the gut
The Importance of Controlling Tapeworms
Tapeworms are particularly important to address with your deworming program. Studies have shown they are present in 80% of horses1. However, their eggs are seldom seen in fecal examinations – even in horses shown to be heavily infested.

Tapeworms have been implicated in several forms of colic, some of which are life-threatening. In fact, colic and other intestinal problems are frequently cited as a leading cause of equine mortality, and parasites are widely recognized as a major cause of colic.

According leading Canadian parasitologist, Dr. A. Villeneuve, the best times to treat for tapeworms are spring (April, May, June) and late fall (October, November, December).
