Durvet Ivermectin Paste Dewormer 6.08g Dose Apple Flavor – 6 Pack

Description

Product Overview

Durvet Ivermectin Paste Dewormer is formulated to provide a reliable, single-dose solution for equine parasite management. Each tube contains a measured 6.08g of ivermectin, blended with a palatable apple flavor that encourages voluntary intake, eliminating the need for forced administration. The paste is packaged in a compact 0.21‑ounce tube, allowing for precise dosing based on the horse’s weight and ensuring consistent therapeutic levels throughout the gastrointestinal tract. The formulation targets a wide array of internal parasites, including large and small strongyles, pinworms, ascarids, hairworms, large‑mouth stomach worms, bots, lungworms, intestinal threadworms, summer sores, and dermatitis‑causing agents. By addressing both adult worms and larval stages, the product helps break the parasite life cycle, reducing environmental contamination and supporting herd health.

The product is manufactured by Durvet, a reputable name in equine health, and complies with stringent quality standards. It is stored at room temperature, with a shelf life that exceeds typical seasonal deworming schedules, making it a practical choice for both routine prophylaxis and targeted treatment. The 6‑pack configuration offers cost‑effective coverage for multiple animals or repeat dosing, and the tubes are designed for easy handling, minimizing waste and exposure during administration.

Usage

Administration of the paste is straightforward. The recommended dose is one tube per horse, delivering 6.08g of ivermectin, which corresponds to the standard therapeutic dose of 0.2 mg/kg body weight for most adult horses. For foals, broodmares, and breeding stallions, the same dose is considered safe, but weight‑based adjustments may be applied under veterinary guidance. The apple flavor encourages the horse to ingest the paste directly from the tube or mixed with a small amount of feed, eliminating the stress associated with forced oral dosing.

Ideal usage scenarios include pre‑season deworming programs, post‑treatment follow‑up after a positive fecal egg count, and strategic deworming during periods of high parasite pressure, such as spring pastures or after transport. The product is suitable for use in a variety of management settings, from large breeding farms to small hobby stables. It can be administered in the stall, during turnout, or in the grooming area, provided the horse is calm and the environment is clean to prevent contamination of the paste.

For optimal results, it is recommended to rotate dewormers with different modes of action annually, in consultation with a veterinarian, to mitigate the risk of resistance development. The paste should be stored in a dry place, away from direct sunlight, and kept out of reach of children and other animals. After administration, monitor the horse for any adverse reactions, although such events are rare given the product’s safety profile.

FAQ

How often should I deworm my horse with this product?

The recommended schedule depends on your horse’s management and parasite risk. Many owners deworm once a year in spring, but a veterinarian may advise a second dose in fall or a targeted treatment based on fecal egg counts. Rotating with a different class of dewormer each year helps prevent resistance.

Is the apple flavor safe for horses with sensitive stomachs?

Yes. The apple flavor is a natural sweetener that is well‑tolerated by most horses. It does not contain added sugars or artificial additives that could upset the digestive system. However, if your horse has a known food allergy, consult your veterinarian before use.

Can I use this dewormer on pregnant mares?

Durvet Ivermectin Paste Dewormer is labeled safe for broodmares, including those that are pregnant. It is commonly used during the early and mid‑gestation periods. Always follow your veterinarian’s guidance regarding timing and dosage to ensure both mare and foal safety.

What should I do if my horse shows an adverse reaction after dosing?

Adverse reactions are rare, but if you notice signs such as excessive sweating, colic‑like symptoms, or unusual behavior, contact your veterinarian immediately. Keep the product packaging handy for reference, and provide details about the dose administered and the horse’s weight.

How should I store the remaining tubes after opening?

Store unopened tubes in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Once opened, keep the tube capped tightly and use the remaining paste within the recommended shelf life, typically indicated on the packaging. Avoid exposing the paste to extreme temperatures, which could degrade its potency.
