Product Information
Full details
Noromectin Horse Wormer is an essential anthelmintic solution designed for horse owners and equine caretakers looking to manage and control internal parasite burdens. The product offers a highly effective, broad-spectrum treatment against roundworms, lungworms, and bots in horses up to 700kg. While it is a potent and reliable tool for routine deworming, users must ensure accurate weight calculation to avoid under-dosing and verify that it fits into a broader, veterinarian-guided parasite control program to mitigate resistance.

Extended Product Information
FAQs
Can this product be used on foals?
Yes, but it is recommended to consult with a veterinarian regarding the appropriate age and weight for the first deworming.
How often should I use Noromectin?
Frequency depends on your regional climate and parasite load. Most veterinarians recommend a fecal egg count test to determine your specific needs.
Does it treat tapeworms?
No, Noromectin is based on Ivermectin and does not provide protection against tapeworms.
What happens if I under-dose my horse?
Under-dosing may not effectively clear the parasite load and can actually contribute to the development of resistant parasite strains.
Is it safe for pregnant mares?
Ivermectin is generally considered safe for use in pregnant mares, but always confirm with your veterinarian before administering any medication.
Troubleshooting
Horse refuses to swallow or spits out the paste
Lift the horse's head slightly after administration and hold it for a few seconds to encourage swallowing; ensure the paste is placed far enough back on the tongue.
Difficulty adjusting the dosage ring
Ensure the plunger is not stuck; gently twist the ring to lock it firmly into the desired weight notch before depressing the plunger.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure efficacy, store the syringe in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight, ideally between 15°C and 25°C. Before use, verify the horse's current weight using a weight tape or scale; guessing can lead to suboptimal results. Always check the expiration date on the packaging before use. If you are also using other medications, consult your veterinarian to check for potential contraindications. Always dispose of empty syringes in a manner that complies with local waste disposal regulations to protect the environment.
