For oral administration. A single oral dose of 400 µg moxidectin/kg bodyweight and 2.5 mg praziquantel/kg bodyweight using the calibrated syringe of one graduation per 25 kg bodyweight. Use of a scale or weight tape is recommended to ensure accurate dosing. Hold the syringe with the capped end pointing to the left and so that you can see the weight measurements and tick marks (small black lines). Each tick mark relates to 25 kg of bodyweight. Turn the green dial ring until the left side of the ring lines up with the weight of the animal. To avoid overdosing, care should be taken to accurately dose foals, especially low bodyweight foals or pony foals.

Do not administer to young foals less than 6.5 months of age. Do not use in cases of hypersensitivity to the active substance or to any of the excipients. Equest Pramox Oral Gel is formulated specifically for use in horses only. Dogs or cats may be adversely affected by the concentration of moxidectin in this product if they are allowed to ingest spilled gel or have access to used syringes.
