Delivers Wide-Ranging Control: Provides comprehensive therapeutic control over all major adult and immature gastrointestinal parasites, including all species of tapeworm.
Dual Active Medical Matrix: Combines two powerful active ingredients (Ivermectin + Praziquantel) to neutralize parasite classes that have developed genetic immunities to older benzimidazole-only drenches.

Active Ingredients for Equimec Plus Tape (No RX Required)

Each syringe contains precisely balanced medical ingredients targeting a broad range of internal parasites and larval stages:

Ivermectin (14 mg/g): A highly potent anthelmintic that targets, paralyzes, and eliminates the central nervous systems of nematodes, roundworms, and larval bot stages.
Praziquantel (100 mg/g): A highly targeted, specialized medical compound that safely disintegrates and breaks down the outer protective skins of adult tapeworms for rapid elimination.

Special Health Risks & Administration Steps:

Clear the Mouth: Ensure the horse’s mouth is completely free of loose food, hay, or grain before starting the application.
Set the Weight Lock: Turn the plastic adjustable collar ring on the syringe plunger to match your horse's exact weight, locking it firmly into place, then remove the needle-tip protective cover.
Insert and Deposit: Insert the nozzle gently into the side of the mouth through the interdental space. Direct the barrel toward the back of the mouth and depress the plunger smoothly until it stops. Gently hold the horse's head slightly raised for a few seconds to ensure swallowing.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I purchase Equimec Plus Tape Paste without a vet prescription?

Yes, you can buy Equimec Plus Tape Paste without a vet prescription online. It is classified as an over-the-counter agricultural and equine health medication in Australia, meaning horse owners can safely order their dual-active seasonal wormers directly through Smartway Pet Supplies without paying for a vet check or diagnostic script.

What is the main difference between standard Equimec and Equimec Plus Tape?

Standard Equimec utilizes only one active ingredient (Ivermectin) which targets roundworms, strongyles, and bots. Equimec Plus Tape introduces a second active ingredient (Praziquantel) explicitly to target and disintegrate tapeworms, providing total broad-spectrum defense.

When is the best time of year to worm horses for tapeworms?

While routine roundworm and bot control occurs year-round, tapeworm populations typically surge in late autumn and spring due to local pasture mite lifecycles. Utilizing Equimec Plus Tape during these seasons ensures your horses are protected against critical tapeworm impactions.
