Noromectin is an Ivermectin-based horse wormer in paste form. Killing both the larval and adult stages of small and large Redworms, Lungworms, and Bots. With each syringe treating a 700kg horse, Noromectin is a powerful and effective worming treatment, particularly useful on small Redworms which have a high Benzimidazole resistance.
The presence of worms can be checked in your horse using a Worm Testing Kit.
Uses

Noromectin 1.87% Oral Paste for Horses at the recommended
dose rate of 200mcg ivermectin per kg bodyweight is indicated
for the treatment of the following internal parasites of horses:
Large strongyles (redworms): Adults and 4th larval (arterial)
stages of Strongylus vulgaris, adults and tissue larval stages of S.
edentatus and adults of S. equinus.
Adult small strongyles (redworms) including
benzimidazole resistant strains: Cyathostomum catinatum,
Cyathostomum pateratum, Cylicocyclus ashworthi, Cylicocyclus
elongatus, Cylicocyclus insigne, Cylicocyclus leptostomum,
Cylicocyclus nassatus, Cylicocyclus radiatus, Cylicostephanus
asymetricus, Cylicostephanus bidentatus, Cylicostephanus
calicatus, Cylicostephanus goldi, Cylicostephanus longibursatus,
Cylicostephanus minutus, Cylicodontophorus bicornatus and
Gyalocephalus capitatus.
Adult and immature lungworms: Dictyocaulus arnfieldi.

Ascarids: Adult and 3rd and 4th stage Parascaris equorum.
Hairworms: Adult Trichostrongylus axei.
Intestinal threadworms: Adult Strongyloides westeri.

Dosage & Administration
Noromectin 1.87% Oral Paste for Horses is administered orally
at a single dose rate of 200mcg/kg of bodyweight. One syringe
division of paste should be administered per 100kg
bodyweight (based on the recommended dosage of 200mcg/kg). Each syringe delivers 140mg ivermectin, sufficient to
treat 700kg of bodyweight. The tip of the syringe barrel should
be inserted at the interdental space (the gap between the
front and back teeth). The horse’s head should be raised for a
few seconds after dosing.
Horses’ weight should be accurately determined for the correct
use of the paste. The animal’s mouth should be free of food to
ensure swallowing.
For best results all horses in a yard or grazing together should
be included in a regular parasite control programme and
treated at the same time.
All horses should be included in a regular parasite control
programme, with particular attention being paid to mares,
foals and yearlings. Foals should be treated initially at 6-8
weeks of age and routine treatment repeated as appropriate.
Retreatment should be carried out according to the
epidemiological situation, but not less than at a 30 day interval.
Do not use the same syringe to treat more than one animal
unless horses are running together or in direct contact with
each other on the same premises.
As with all anthelmintics, a veterinary surgeon should establish
appropriate dosing programmes and stock management to
achieve adequate parasite control and reduce the likelihood of
anthelmintic resistance developing.
Withdrawal Period
Animals must not be slaughtered for human consumption
during treatment.Horses must not be treated within 34 days of slaughter for human consumption. Do not use in mares producing milk for human consumption.
