Ingredients / Material How to Use

2% Moxidectin + 12.5% Praziquantel

Use in horses and ponies six months of age and older. One administration of the recommended dose rate also suppressed strongyle egg production through 84 days. Treats up to 1,500 lbs.

QUEST PLUS Gel is specially formulated as a palatable gel which is easily administered to horses and ponies. QUEST PLUS Gel is packaged in ready-to-use SURE-DIAL^® syringes. The syringe is calibrated in 50-pound increments, up to 1500 pounds. This enables the administration of the recommended dose level by choosing a setting consistent with the animal’s weight.

Do not under dose. Ensure each animal receives a complete dose based on a current body weight. Under dosing may result in ineffective treatment, and encourage the development of parasite resistance.

HOW TO SET THE DOSE

Since the dose is based on the weight of the animal, you need to use a scale or weight tape to find each animal’s weight before treating with QUEST PLUS Gel. Once the weight is known, set the dose for each horse or pony as follows.

1. Hold the syringe with the capped end pointing to the left and so that you can see the weight measurements and tick marks (small black lines). Each tick mark relates to 50 lb of body weight.

2. Turn the white dial ring until the left side of the ring lines up with the weight of the animal. In the diagram, the dial ring is set to dose a 500 lb animal.

HOW TO GIVE QUEST PLUS GEL TO A HORSE OR PONY

1. Make sure there is no feed in the animal’s mouth.

2. Remove the cap from the end of the syringe. Save the cap for reuse.

3. Place the tip of the syringe inside the animal’s mouth at the space between the teeth.

4. Gently push the plunger until it stops, depositing the gel on the back of the tongue.

5. Remove the syringe from the animal’s mouth and raise the animal’s head slightly to make sure it swallows the gel.

6. Replace the syringe cap.

TREATING A SECOND HORSE OR PONY WITH THE SAME SYRINGE

If the first animal you treat weighs less than 1500 lb, there will be gel left in the syringe. You can use this gel to treat other horses or ponies. To set the next dose, add the weight of the animal you want to treat to the dose setting already on the syringe. For example, if the syringe was first used to treat a 250 lb animal, the white dial ring is set on 250 lb. To treat a 500 lb animal next, move the white dial ring to the 750 lb marking (250+500=750). You need more than one syringe to treat horses weighing more than 1500 lb.
