| QUEST PLUS Equine Oral Gel contains two active pharmaceutical ingredients, moxidectin and praziquantel. Moxidectin acts by interfering with chloride channel-mediated neurotransmission in the parasite. This results in paralysis and elimination of the parasite.
Quest Plus Gel -moxidectin/praziquantal Equine Oral Gel when administered at the recommended dose level of 0.4 mg moxidectin/kg and 2.5 mg praziquantal/kg (2.2lb) body weight is effective in the treatment and control of the following stages of gastrointestinal parasites in horses and ponies: Large Strongyles, Small Strongyles, Encysted Cyathostomes, Ascarids, Pinworms, hairworms, large-mouth stomach worms, horse stomach bots and Tapeworms. One administration of the recommended dose rate of Quest Plus Equine Oral Gel also suppreses strongyle egg production through 84 days. Quest Plus -moxidectin/praziquantal- Equine Oral Gel is specially formulated as a palatable gel which is easily administered to horses and ponies. Quest Plus Gel for horses is packaged in ready-to-use Sure Dial syringes. The syringe is calibrated in 50lb increments up to 1250 pounds. This enables the administration of the recommended dose level by choosing a setting consistent with the animal's weight.

Administration:
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 50lbs of body weight.
2. Turn the blue dial ring until the left side of the ring lines up with the weight of the animal. In the diagram below, the dial ring is set to dose a 500lb animal.
3. Make sure there is no feed in the animal's mouth.
4. Remove the cap from the end of the syringe inside the animal's mouth at the space between the teeth.
5. Gently push the plunger until it stops, depositing the gel on the back of the tongue.
6. Remove the syringe from the animal's mouth and raise the animal's head slightly to make sure it swallows the gel.
7. Replace the syringe cap.
