Broad spectrum abamectin and morantel horse worm and bot paste.
Composition
Contains: Abamectin 4 mg/mL, Morantel Tartrate 167 mg/mL
Features and Benefits
Abamectin acts by binding selectively and with high affinity to glutamate-gated chloride channels in invertebrate nerve and muscle cells. This leads to hyperpolarisation of these cells, resulting in flaccid paralysis and death of the parasite.
Morantel is a depolarising neuromuscular blocking agent producing paralysis by causing muscle contraction.

General Notes
A year round worming prevention and treatment program varies with climatic and stocking conditions, but, in general terms all horses should be wormed every 6 - 8 weeks, commencing at approximately 6 weeks of age. All horses newly introduced to a property should be wormed immediately on arrival, and kept away from regularly used paddocks or yards for several days in order to minimise environmental recontamination.
MORAMECTIN is not available within Australia.
