Valumax (previously Promectin Plus red tube) horse wormer gives effective treatment against internal horse parasites within 24 hours.  It contains a broad spectrum combined horse worming preparation Abamectin & Praziquantel.

Efficacy:

The effectiveness of Valumax is due to the combination of 3.7mg/g Abamectin and 46.2mg/g of Praziquantel.  Abamectin eliminates all common horse worms and bots.  Praziquantel is an unparalleled agent in eradicating tapeworms.  Combined, they produce a deadly formula for horse parasites.

Valumax has been specially formulated with oatmeal to make it more palatable for your horse, and to reduce wastage when applying.  With a recommended dose of 5.4g per 100kg, only one syringe is needed to treat a 600kg horse.

Recommended retreatment interval is 6 - 8 weeks
