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.

I had been using Verm-X to worm my horse but she had a few redworms so they recommended I use Equest Pramox. Haven't had her retested yet but she seems brighter.

To ensure that my horses are protected against the internal damage bot fly eggs can cause, I will always dose with Equest Pramox wormer after the frost.

Below are some recent questions we've received regarding Equest Pramox Horse Wormer, including answers from our team.
Theresa
My 2 year old spat out most of his wormer. I am concerned about encysted redwormCan I re dose him when I have bought some more in a day or so or is there a danger to his health?
Hello,I hope this message finds you well.Could you please confirm whether your worming plan includes 12 weekly worm egg counts? If so, and if you are ordering wormers due to a positive worm egg count result, we can dispense the medication accordingly. If a worm egg count has not yet been performed, please note that current guidelines recommend testing first and treating only if necessary. In this case, would you be happy for us to amend your order to a worm egg count test kit? See link here - https://www.viovet.co.uk/Westgate-Labs-Worm-Count-Kit-for-Horses/c20553/

Can I worm with Equestr Promax for tapeworm in July
Tapeworm infections in horses can lead to serious health issues such as colic, weight loss, and poor condition, yet they donāt show up on standard faecal egg counts. Because of this, itās strongly recommended to carry out a dedicated tapeworm testāsuch as the EquiSal saliva testābefore deciding to worm. This test is easy to use, non-invasive, and accurately detects tapeworm-specific antibodies, helping you determine whether treatment with a product like Equest Pramox is actually needed. Testing is typically advised in the spring and autumn, or any time thereās uncertainty about your horseās recent worming history. Regular tapeworm testing supports responsible parasite control by avoiding unnecessary treatments and reducing the risk of wormer resistance.

can i give this to my donkey?
No, this is not licensed for use in donkeys. We would require a vet prescription to dispense it for your donkey. If you need help with a wormer for your donkey, please email support@viovet,co.uk

Horse will not accept syringe
Yes, you can mix Equest Pramox horse wormer with feed, although it's important to check the specific instructions on the product label as some variations may recommend administering it directly into the horse's mouth via a syringe, but many owners find mixing it with a small amount of feed can help ensure the horse consumes the full dose.

My Welsh B mare is due to foal in mid May this year, can I safely worm here with Equest Pramox now?
Equest Pramox Oral Gel has been shown to be safe for use in breeding, pregnant and lactating mares.
Joanne Rawlings
I had a work count done in October and as a result used equest. Then only after I found out it had been too mild and actually should have waited.
My boy had been wormed a year before.
Iām moving yards in a week. Wanted to worm again especially now that we have had a frost. Equest pramox was my thinking but now concerned about resistance building. Please advise best option.
Thank you Jo
Please don't repeat the use of Moxidectin (active ingredient in Equest and Equest pramox)
it will cause resistance and will stop working. Give us a call on 01234 907860 and our SQPS can advise you.
Libby
Does this kill red worm ?
Yes, it treats small and large redworm and also Encysted redworm. Furthermore, it treats for tapeworm too.
Deborah Jacobs
Is the Equest Pramox flavoured at all?
No Equest Pramox is not flavored.
Gill Plumbley
Can Equest Pramox be given in feed
The datasheet just states 'For oral administration' regarding method of administration. As long as it is orally ingested then it can be added to the feed. It is usually advised to worm a horse directly into the mouth though to ensure all of the product is ingested and the environment is not contaminated. Moxidectin is toxic to aquatic life.
Stephy
Can this be put in feed to take? Only my mare hates the syringe
As long as the entirety of the dose is ingested then this can be added to the feed, yes. It is usually advised to syringe directly into the mouth as this is the only way to be 100% certain the whole dose has been given.
