Below are some recent questions we've received regarding Eqvalan® Ivermectin Horse and Donkey Wormer, including answers from our team.
C White
Will this wormer be good for a pony with redworm?
Eqvalan does treat small redworm however this does not treat encysted stage of small redworm
Claire
Can I give my foal Eqvalan Duo? Or should I give the foal Eqvalan only and not the Duo?
This depends on the age of your foal. Eqvalan can be used safely in foals of any age. Eqvalan Duo states that 'Safety studies were not conducted in foals younger than 2 months of age, or in stallions. The use of Eqvalan Duo is not recommended in these categories of animals.'
It is not recommended to cover tapeworms until at least 6 months old anyway though, this is because tapeworms are gained through grazing. Eqvalan Duo only differs from Eqvalan by having an additional tapewormer ingredient.
If you would like further advice on mare/foal worming then please get in touch at [email protected].

can you give a list of what each one kills. please.
The list of worms that Eqvalan, containing ivermectin, eliminates is a very large one. I will paste this below but all you really need to know is that it kills roundworms. It does not eliminate tapeworms. Eqvalan Duo will eliminate tapeworms and roundworms though as it contains praziquantel alongside the ivermectin.

Foal 10 months how much should be given colt Shetland
This depends on the weight of your foal, you should adminster the correct graduation on the syringe based on the weight. If you need advice on how to weigh your horse then check out this blog linked here.

Please can you confirm if this wormer controls encysted redworm in horses?
This wormer contains ivermectin which does not treat encysted redworm. You will need to use moxidectin (Equest/Equest Pramox) or a 5 day course of fenbendazole (Panacur) for this effect.
Rebecca anne calder
What wormer can be used this time of year to cover encysted red worm in donkeys
The only wormer licensed to treat encysted redworm in donkeys is Panacur (fenbendazole) when used at the 5 day course doseage. Equest (moxidectin) will treat this but it is not licensed for use in donkeys. it may be safe for use in donkeys but as this is an off license use of the medication you will need a written prescription from your vet to purchase it with us.
Eqvalan contains ivermectin and will treat redworm but not the encysted winter stage.
Kirsty Bolton
Can I give this product to a nearly 5 months pregnant mare (26 Sep 21 she will be 5 months) as when I go to order it says unsuitable even though in the advice section it says it is safe as long as over 3 months
The datasheet for these two wormers state the following:
Eqvalan Duo:
In the absence of clinical data in early pregnancy Eqvalan Duo can only
be used in the first three months of gestation according to a risk
benefit analysis by the veterinarian.
Eqvalan:
Horses and donkeys of all ages, including pregnant mares and breeding stallions, have been treated with no adverse effect.
Both products are therefore safe for use in your pregnant mare of 5 months gestation.
Clive Tinsley
Hi why do you not recommended duo for tapeworm in donkeys
Eqvalan is licensed for use in donkeys but Eqvalan Duo is not. This is because Duo has not been tested and proven safe for use in donkeys so we cannot dispense it for this use.
If you wish to cover tapeworms in your donkey then you can use a double dose of Strongid-P. This is licensed for use in donkeys.
Katie Bell
My pony has tested for Strongyles and low level small red. Will Eqvalan treat both of these?
Yes, Eqvalan contains ivermectin which will treat both Strongyles and Small Redworm. It will not cover the encysted stages of small redworm however they only encyst during the winter months and ivermectin will be effective against small redworm in their current state.
La Cresswell
can Eqvalan be given to an 8/9 month old horse?
Yes Eqvalan is safe to use in an 8/9month foal. It can be used as early as 6 to 8 weeks of age according to the data sheet.
