Small strongyles are the #1 parasite in horses. These dangerous invaders are able to "encyst" or encapsulate in the horse's intestine, living inside a walled-off structure and resist ivermectin dewormers. Only QUEST can penetrate this structure and kill deadly encysted small strongyles in one dose. And that's just one more reason to make QUEST your clear choice for parasite control. Active Ingredient(s): Contains 20 mg moxidectin/mL (2.0% w/v). Indications: QUEST? (moxidectin) 2% Equine Oral Gel when administered at the recommended dose level of 0.4 mg moxidectin/kg (2.2 lb) body weight is effective in the treatment and control of the following stages of gastrointestinal parasites in horses and ponies: Large strongyles: Strongylus vulgaris - (adults and L4/L5 arterial stages); Strongylus edentatus - (adults and tissue stages); Triodontophorus brevicauda - (adults); Triodontophorus serratus - (adults). Small strongyles: Cyathostomum spp - (adults); Cylicocyclus spp. -(adults); Cylicostephanus spp. - (adults); Gyalocephalus capitatus - (adults); Undifferentiated lumenal larvae. Encysted cyathostomes: Late L3 and L4 mucosal cyathostome larvae. Ascarids: Parascaris equorum - (adults and L4 larval stages). Pin worms: Oxyuris equi - (adults and L4 larval stages). Hair worms: Trichostrongylus axei - (adults). Large-mouth stomach worms: Habronema muscae - (adults). Horse stomach bots: Gasterophilus intestinalis - (2nd and 3rd instars). One administration of the recommended dose rate of QUEST? 2% Equine Oral Gel also suppresses strongyle egg production through 84 days. QUEST? is indicated for use in horses and ponies, including breeding mares and stallions, and foals four months of age and older. Dosage and Administration: QUEST? is packaged in a ready-to-use Sure-Dose? syringe. Each syringe is calibrated in a manner which enables administration of the dose level of 0.4 mg moxidectin/kg body weight by simply choosing a setting consistent with the horses weight. To use the Sure-Dose? syringe, unlock the latch and slide it and the attached moveable weight-selection tape to the mark corresponding to the animal's weight. The tape is marked in 50-lb increments. Determination of the horse's body weight by the use of a scale or girth-tape is recommended to insure accurate dosing. Once the correct calibration mark is selected and checked, lock the latch. Verify that the animal's mouth contains no feed. Remove the syringe cap and insert the syringe into the animal's mouth through the interdental space. With the tip of the syringe near the base of the tongue, push the plunger until the latch comes in contact with the barrel of the syringe. Remove the syringe and raise the treated animal's head to assure proper swallowing of the gel. Replace the syringe cap. The remaining contents of the syringe can be used to treat additional horses or ponies. Each syringe of QUEST? (moxidectin) 2% Equine Oral Gel may be used to treat more than one animal especially when dosing
