Directions Of Use

Dose Rate:

The recommended dose is 1 ml Ultramax Equine per 50kg liveweight.
Ultramax Equine can be given as an oral drench or by stomach tube (nasogastric intubation). (Nasogastric intubation should only be done by a veterinarian or under veterinary supervision.)
Contents may be poured into a graduated cylinder for dose measurement. Alternatively, a clean dry syringe may be inserted directly into the bottle to draw off the appropriate dose.

Administration by oral drench:

For administration by this method, an undiluted dose is usually preferred. Clear the horse’s mouth of any food material, elevate the horse’s head, and using a suitable dosing syringe, deposit the appropriate dose in the back of the mouth. In order to avoid unnecessary coughing or the potential for material to enter the trachea and lungs, do not use excessive pressure, do not use a large dose volume of diluted Ultramax Equine, and do not deposit the dose in the laryngeal area. Increased dose rejection may occur if the dose is deposited in the front of the mouth. Keep the horse’s head elevated and observe the horse to ensure the dose is swallowed.

Administration by stomach tube (gravity or positive flow):

Drenching horses by nasogastric intubation require specialised skills and knowledge. Special consideration should be given to the effects of potential for injury from handling, restraint and placement of the tube during administration by stomach tube. Nasogastric intubation should only be done by a veterinarian or under veterinary supervision.

The recommended dose can be used diluted or undiluted up to approximately 40 times with clean tepid water. Use tepid water to flush any drug remaining in the tube into the horse’s stomach. Pour Ultramax Equine into a graduated cylinder for dose measurement. Alternatively, use a calibrated dosing syringe inserted into the bottle to measure the appropriate dose. Use a clean dry syringe if accessing the bottle to avoid contaminating the remaining product.

Discard any unused diluted Ultramax Equine suspension 24 hours after dilution.

Rates are a general guide only. Before opening, carefully read Ultramax Equine Liquid Tapewormer directions for use, precautionary and protection statements, storage and disposal, safety directions and first aid instructions. The product is designed for the particular purpose indicated on the label. Failure to use the product strictly as directed may be illegal, dangerous and render the product ineffective.

Answered by the admin
Horse Drenches, including Ultramax Equine, should be rotated to delay resistance to parasites building up. The three main chemical groups that are used to make horse drenches are benzimidazoles (white drench), morantel or pyrantel (clear drench) and macrocyclic lactones (i.e. Ultramax).

It is recommended that chemical groups be rotated every 12 months to delay a build-up of resistance in worms to a particular drench chemical. Providing the next drench in your rotation is not from the macrocyclic lactone family (mectin), which is a good rotation.

An excellent resource to use to see which drenches fall into which chemical group is available from the NSW DPI (https://www.dpi.nsw.gov.au/__data/assets/pdf_file/0005/333374/Worm-control-in-horses.pdf)

Tips For Use

Develop a Regular Treatment Plan:

All horses should be subject to regular worming to maintain good health and peak condition.
Particular attention should be given to young horses and mares.
Foals should be treated initially at 6 to 8 weeks of age and this treatment repeated regularly as required.
The frequency of treatment should be assessed by each property’s veterinary adviser considering the number of horses, their age distribution, reproductive status, stocking rate, grazing access, climate and property’s parasite infestation status.
Ultramax Equine is highly effective in the treatment and control of most types of equine helminths including tapeworms, gastrointestinal, cutaneous and pulmonary nematodes and bats of horses of any age.
With a regular treatment program, the chances of verminous arteritis and colic caused by S. vulgaris will be reduced.

Safety in Using:

Ultramax Equine may be used both in young foals and very old animals.
Mares may be treated at any stage of pregnancy and fertility will not be affected in either sex.
Swelling and itching reactions after treatment with Ultramax Equine have occurred in horses carrying heavy infections of neck threadworm microfilariae, Onchocerca sp.
These reactions were most likely the result of microfilariae dying in large numbers.
Symptomatic treatment may be advisable.
Healing of summer sores involving extensive tissue changes may require other therapy in conjunction with Ultramax Equine.
Reinfection and measures for its prevention should also be considered.

lvermectin is extremely toxic to aquatic species.
Do not contaminate dams, rivers, streams or other waterways with the chemical or used container.
