Quest 2% Oral Gel

Small strongyles are the #1 parasite in horses. These dangerous invaders are able to "encyst" or encapsulate in the horse's intestine, living inside a walled-off structure and resist ivermectin dewormers. Only QUEST can penetrate this structure and kill deadly encysted small strongyles in one dose. And that's just one more reason to make QUEST your clear choice for parasite control.

Active Ingredient(s): Contains 20 mg moxidectin/mL (2.0% w/v).

QUEST™ is indicated for use in horses and ponies, including breeding mares and stallions, and foals four months of age and older.

Dosage and Administration: QUEST™ is packaged in a ready-to-use Sure-Dose™ syringe. Each syringe is calibrated in a manner which enables administration of the dose level of 0.4 mg moxidectin/kg body weight by simply choosing a setting consistent with the horses weight. To use the Sure-Dose™ syringe, unlock the latch and slide it and the attached moveable weight-selection tape to the mark corresponding to the animal's weight. The tape is marked in 50-lb increments. Determination of the horse's body weight by the use of a scale or girth-tape is recommended to insure accurate dosing. Once the correct calibration mark is selected and checked, lock the latch. Verify that the animal's mouth contains no feed. Remove the syringe cap and insert the syringe into the animal's mouth through the interdental space. With the tip of the syringe near the base of the tongue, push the plunger until the latch comes in contact with the barrel of the syringe. Remove the syringe and raise the treated animal's head to assure proper swallowing of the gel. Replace the syringe cap. The remaining contents of the syringe can be used to treat additional horses or ponies.

Each syringe of QUEST™ (moxidectin) 2% Equine Oral Gel may be used to treat more than one animal especially when dosing foals, ponies and growing and lighter breeds of horses.
