Equest Pramox contains moxidectin and is one of the few wormers licensed to control the important encysted larval stages of small red worms. It has a long period of anti-worm activity after the dose has been given (13 weeks) and so helps to reduce pasture contamination. Equest Pramox is also less toxic to the natural beetles and other insects which help to break up the dung on the pasture, compared with ivermectin-based products. This means that pastures tend to remain cleaner and healthier where the dung is not collected from the field.
Equest Pramox also contains praziquantel which is provided for tapeworm control. Equest Pramox, in a single dose, controls the potentially dangerous small red worms, all other roundworms including pinworm, bots and all three types of tapeworm. One dose can be given every three months to protect the health of your horse, providing exceptionally good control of all these major parasites.
The presence of worms can be checked in your horse using a Worm Testing Kit.
Equest Horse Wormer is also available.

Below are some recent questions we've received regarding Equest Pramox Horse Wormer, including answers from our team.
Suzanne
How long does equest pramox last (shelflife) once opened? My pony only needs half a syringe so can I keep the other half for the next worming time or will it go off?
If stored correctly then Equest Pramox is usable for up to 6 months after opening, or until the product expiry date. Whichever is sooner. We receive new stock of Equest Pramox weekly and expiry dates are extremely likely to be beyond the 6 month mark.

Hi I have a mare with a 1 month old foal at foot is it safe to use?
Equest Pramox Oral Gel has been shown to be safe for use in breeding, pregnant and lactating mares. However it should not be used to dose the foal itself until he/she are at least 6.5 months old.
Plank Ferenc
Can it be given to a 5 month old foal?
This product should not be administered to young foals less than 6.5 months of age. If you need specific worming advice for your foal then please contact our medicine advice team on [email protected]

Hi, i'm moving my horse to a new stables and they have requested Pramox to be administered on arrival. My horse was last wormed with Pramox, is it safe to administer twice in a row, as I've heard horror stories!
Hello,
Thank you for your question.
Ideally we would advise against it unless the worm count results have come back high, however it is normal protocol for yards to ask new arrivals to worm with an all-round wormer such as Equest Pramox. As this will be a one-time situation where you will be administering the wormer again it should be fine.
To ease your concerns, you can use Quick Fix to help the gut and complete a worm count a few weeks after, just to make sure it has worked. If you can, see if the yard owner would be happy for you to use something like Equimax instead; this will still cover for tapeworm, redworm and bots without being as 'harsh'.
I hope this helps.

What's the youngest this can be used on
Equest Pramox can be used on foals from 6.5 months old.
Rachel Matthews
Can this wormer be used on horses currently being treated for stomach ulcers?
Hi Rachel
Thank you for your question.
We do not recommend worming a horse whilst being treated for stomach ulcers.
We would recommend using Protexin quick fit, but always check with your vet first.
Hope that helps,
VioVet.
Emma Farthing
Hi, my mare hates being wormed and honestly I'm dreading it. Can I add this with her speedibeet and course mix or does it have to be given separately?
Thanks
If she will eat her feed with the wormer in it then thats perfectly acceptable. Just make sure she eats all of it and so gets the correct dose. You may even need to add something like molasses too to disguise the taste.
Tina p
My horse had diarrheah when I wormed with equest pramox would it have worked
Hi Tina,
No it's quite normal for this to happen as some wormers can upset the stomach when they're being absorbed. You wouldn't need to worm again. If the diarrhoea persists you might want to give a probiotic to help re-populate the gut with friendly bacteria.
I hope this helps.
Mrs Macdonald
Is it too early in the year to dose with pramox
Hi there,
Ideally you need to worm with Moxidectin (found in Pramox) between November and Feb to treat for encysted redworm, so it would be fine to do it now.
I hope this helps.

Will Equest pramox get rid of lung worm? Have just bought a new horse and vet thinks she has lung worm, we haven't got much history for her but believe she could have been kept with donkeys and cattle,
Lungworm are susceptible to the Macrocyclic Lactones such as ivermectin and moxidectin. Equest Pramox contains moxidectin so is effective against lungworm. It also contains Praziquantel effective against tapeworms which is a good idea for this time of year. However if you do not wish to treat for tapeworm at the moment you can use just Equest which is moxidectin only.
