QUEST Gel

Only QUEST Gel ( moxidectin ) kills encysted small strongyles in one dose, before they emerge and harm your horse. Older dewormers like ivermectin (Zimecterin®, EquimectrinT) are not effective against small strongyles at this critical stage of infection. Another dewormer compound, fenbendazole (Panacur®/Safe-Guard®) cannot kill encysted small strongyles in a single dose.

QUEST GEL also controls stomach worms, roundworms, bots, and a broad spectrum of other common parasites.

What's more, QUEST GEL works up to twice as long as ivermectin to prevent the reappearance of strongyle eggs on pasture - 84 days of protection versus 42 days.

Dosage and Administration: QUEST GEL (moxidectin) 2% Equine Oral Gel is specially formulated as a palatable gel which is easily administered to horses and ponies.
QUEST Gel is packaged in ready-to-use Sure-DialT syringes. The syringe is calibrated in 50-pound increments, up to 1150 pounds. This enables the administration of the recommended dose level of 0.4 mg moxidectin/kg body weight by choosing a setting consistent with the animal's weight.
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 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 lbs. of body weight.
2. Turn the green dial ring until the left side of the ring lines up with the weight of the animal.
How to give QUEST 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 1150 lbs., 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 green dial ring is set on 250 lbs. To treat a 500 lb. animal next, move the green dial ring to the 750 lb. marking (250+500=750). You need more than one syringe to treat horses weighing more than 1150 lbs.
Each syringe of QUEST GEL 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. The table below will help estimate the number of horses or ponies the contents of each syringe will treat.
