Equibactin 45g Oral Paste Syringe for Horses - Single Syringe

This product is indicated for treatment of infections in horses caused by bacteria sensitive to the combination of trimethoprim and sulfadiazine, particularly:

  • Respiratory tract infections associated with Streptococcus spp. and Staphylococcusaureus
  • Gastrointestinal infections associated with E. coli
  • Urogenital infections associated with beta-hemolytic streptococci
  • Wound infections and open or drained abscesses associated with Streptococcusspp. and Staphylococcus aureus

To ensure a correct dosage body weight should be determined as accurately as possible to avoid underdosing.

The calculated dose is provided by adjusting the ring on the plunger according to the body weight of the horse. The paste is administered orally by inserting the nozzle of the syringe through the interdental space and depositing the required amount of paste on the back of the tongue. The animal's mouth should be free of any food. Immediately after administration, elevate the head of the horse for a few seconds to ensure the dose is swallowed.

New regulations prevent us from sending any veterinary medicines to Northern Ireland at present. Find out how to order this medicine to Northern Ireland.
