TRM Multiplex Paste

Description

TRM Multiplex Paste is a comprehensive equine dewormer designed to manage a wide range of internal parasites in horses. It combines multiple active ingredients to provide broad-spectrum control.

Key Points about TRM Multiplex Paste:

• Purpose: TRM Multiplex Paste is used for the treatment and control of a variety of internal parasites in horses, including:
  • Roundworms (Ascarids)
  • Strongyles (Large and Small)
  • Pinworms
  • Tapeworms
  • Bots
  • Lungworms
• Active Ingredients:
  • Ivermectin: A broad-spectrum antiparasitic agent effective against a wide range of internal parasites and some external parasites. It works by disrupting the nervous system of parasites, leading to their paralysis and death.
  • Praziquantel: Specifically targets tapeworms. It damages the tapeworms’ tegument (outer surface), causing their disintegration and removal from the horse’s intestines.
  • Fenbendazole: Provides additional control against certain types of parasites, including some that might be resistant to other dewormers. It works by interfering with the parasites’ ability to absorb nutrients.
• Mechanism of Action:
  • Ivermectin: Affects the parasites’ nervous system by binding to specific receptors, causing paralysis and death.
  • Praziquantel: Causes severe damage to tapeworms’ cuticle, leading to their expulsion.
  • Fenbendazole: Disrupts the metabolic processes of the parasites, leading to their death.
• Administration:
  • The paste is administered orally using a syringe-like applicator. It should be given directly into the horse’s mouth, typically on the back of the tongue or deep in the throat to ensure it is swallowed.
  • The syringe is marked with weight gradations to facilitate accurate dosing based on the horse’s weight.
• Dosage:
  • The dosage is determined by the horse’s weight. Accurate dosing is crucial to ensure effective treatment and to minimize the risk of resistance.
  • Always follow the manufacturer’s instructions or consult with a veterinarian for proper dosage and administration.
• Benefits:
  • Broad-Spectrum Coverage: Provides comprehensive deworming by targeting a wide range of internal parasites, including tapeworms and resistant parasites.
  • Convenience: The oral paste formulation is easy to administer and ensures precise dosing.
  • Effectiveness: Combines multiple active ingredients to enhance efficacy against a broad spectrum of parasites.
• Frequency of Use:
  • The frequency of administration depends on factors such as the horse’s age, environment, and overall health. It is usually part of a rotational deworming program and should be administered according to a schedule developed with the help of a veterinarian.
• Safety Considerations:
  • TRM Multiplex Paste is generally safe for horses when used as directed. It is important to adhere to the recommended dosage to avoid adverse effects.

TRM Multiplex Paste is a valuable tool for maintaining equine health through effective parasite control.
